Exporting jpegs from pages to specific folders

Question

I have a script set up to export images/links and groups as jpegs with specified settings. It looks for the images/links and groups on a specified layer (ProdLayer) and exports them to a local path designated through a panel:I am trying to have the script run through a series of pages and export the images (links) and groups from each page to a designated folder locally. The script works fine to export everything, however, each iteration through the loop exports all images and groups from all pages into each folder. How can I force the export to only push the images on the page designated in the loop?(also, any suggestions to clean up the redundant code woudl be swell &#128521; ) function extract() {
var i,
myDoc = app.activeDocument,
myLayer = myDoc.layers.itemByName( "ProdLayer" ),
myGroups = myDoc.layers.itemByName( "ProdLayer" ).groups,
apis = myDoc.links.everyItem().getElements(), rect, fileName;

alert("Script is running. Press OK and wait until done...");

var myFilePath = outfolder.text;
if (myFilePath !== ""){
} else {
alert ("Error!
No Output folder was selected. Please select a Folder and try again")
return;
}

var myFolder = (String(myFilePath)); // Create a new file path

while ( rect = apis.pop() ) {
rect = rect.parent.parent;
if( rect.itemLayer != myLayer ){ continue }
if ( !(rect.hasOwnProperty ("graphics") ) ){ continue }

fileName = File ( rect.graphics[0].itemLink.filePath ).name;
fileName = fileName.replace( /\.[a-z]{2,4}$/i, '.jpg' );

if (settingGroup.selection == 0){
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality =JPEGOptionsQuality.LOW;
}
if (settingGroup.selection == 1){
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MEDIUM;
}
if (settingGroup.selection == 2){
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.HIGH;
}
if (settingGroup.selection == 4){
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MAXIMUM;
}
if (settingGroup2.selection == 0){
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegRenderingStyle = JPEGOptionsFormat.BASELINE_ENCODING;
}
if (settingGroup2.selection == 1){
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegRenderingStyle = JPEGOptionsFormat.PROGRESSIVE_ENCODING;
}
if (settingGroup3.selection == 0){

if (settingGroup3.selection == 2){

var grpFile = new File( String(myFolder) + "/Mobile/" + i + '.jpg' );

Add this code for your script UI for better understanding :

myGroups references all grouped items on the prodLayer. Then for each page, you are looping through the entire myGroups object and exporting them. You need to probably just loop through the groups, check the parentPage of each grouped item, and when that page changes, create the new folders that you're after.

Edit: A cleaner, but more costly, way would be to iterate through groups on each myPages, and check if they are on the right layer:

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

var gs = myPages[i].groups;

for (var j = 0; j < gs.length; j++) {

if (gs[j].itemLayer == "ProdLayer") {

//export

}
