[Renamed] Scripting - Hide the first object in layer "Artwork"

[Matěj5CD8]

Hi,

with jsx script, how do I access first object in layer named "Artwork".

Something like:

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var item = doc.layers['Artwork'];
item.pageItem[0].visible = false;

but thats not it obviously

Hi,

It should be pageItems instead of pageItem in the following line

item.pageItem[0].visible = false;

Another question, what do you mean by first Item, is it one visible at the top inside the layer or at the bottom?

Secondly, visible is not the property to change teh visiblity. Property name is hidden.

So try following snippet to hide the first item

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var item = doc.layers['Artwork'];
item.pageItems[0].hidden = true;

Try:

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var aLay = doc.layers['Artwork'];
aLay.pageItems[0].hidden = true;

But I would use pathItems[0] instead.

At the top inside the layer.

Thank you, it works

Have a nice day
