Script to fit individual art boards to multiple selected images

[stevek19203339]

I am looking for a way to give individual art boards to multiple items that share the same parent artboard.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_gulI8o3v6eNVJYdFhJOHdwVHc Here is an example. All 4 images are on a parent artboard. I currently manually use the art board tool and click on the pink line to give each individual image its own artboard.

This process will result in this format: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_gulI8o3v6eU1ZtaFNPYjZ4V1E

I would like to be able to automate this process. The script would basically need to scan the document from top to bottom left to right looking for selected images and give an individual art board fit to content. That is important as the numbering of the artboards is necessary.

I have been able to create a script that fits an art board to all four selections but not to individual selections like in my linked example.

Thanks in advance for any advice or help.

Cheers,

Steve

Update: Ok I figure out how to add individual art boards. The only issue now is it loops backwards based on what cut line was placed first. Starting at last placed and working backwards to the first placed. I just need to figure out how to reverse the art board placement.

var selectRef = docRef.pathItems;

//finds all cut lines

for ( var i = 0; i < selectRef.length; i++) {

    if (selectRef.strokeColor.cyan == 0 && selectRef.strokeColor.magenta == 100 && selectRef.strokeColor.yellow == 0 && selectRef.strokeColor.black == 0)

        docRef.pathItems.selected = selectRef.stroked;

          };

//adds Art Board to selections

function addArtBoard(doc){ 

var TotalArtboards = selectRef.length;

for (var i = 0 ; i < TotalArtboards ; i++){     

       app.activeDocument.artboards.add(selection.geometricBounds);

       }};

    addArtBoard(doc);

Update: Ok I figured it out. Shoutout to @CarlosCanto for pointing me in the right direction with a script he provided in another discussion: Re: Selections to Artboards ?

var docRef = app.activeDocument;

var selectRef = docRef.pathItems;

//finds all cut lines

for ( var i = 0; i < selectRef.length; i++) {

    if (selectRef.strokeColor.cyan == 0 && selectRef.strokeColor.magenta == 100 && selectRef.strokeColor.yellow == 0 && selectRef.strokeColor.black == 0)

        docRef.pathItems.selected = selectRef.stroked;

          };

//adds  Art Board to selections

function addArtBoard(doc){  

var TotalArtboards = selectRef.length;

for (var i = TotalArtboards-1; i >= 0 ; i--){      

       app.activeDocument.artboards.add(selection.geometricBounds);}

        };

addArtBoard(doc);

Hi Steve. I'm just looking for what you're looking for,
And I can't do that through the script here.
He's giving me an error, do you have any idea why?
