Grab graphic layer option by item name

[hobbes_1979]

Hello,

I can easily acess a graphic's layer option by using the following:

var doc = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;

doc[0].graphicLayerOptions.graphicLayers.itemByName( "Orange").currentVisibility = true;

Instead of "doc[0]", I would like to grab the graphic by the name/label it has as a item in the layers menu: "Bee".

var test =  app.activeDocument.pageItems.item("Bee");

I get confused, as one is a pageItem and the other a graphic and I'm not good enough in scipting to understand the whole hirachy.

Can someone help?

Thanks alot,

Kosta

Hi,

name in layers palette is always a reference to a page item.

Assuming only one image / graphic in it you can access it by

var test =  app.activeDocument.pageItems.itemByName("Bee").graphics[0];

Hmmm,

if I try this:

app.activeDocument.pageItems.itemByName("Bee").graphics[0].graphicLayerOptions.graphicLayers.item("Orange").currentVisibility = true;

ID tells me that graphics does not support this method or properties.

Is my thinking wrong?

your codeline should work as long as you've got a single page item (attention: you can't access the page item by name if it is part of a group) named 'Bee' and the graphic includes a layer 'Orange'
