Retrieve Artboard reference of active nested layer

[lol87030884]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to get the artboard reference of a currently active layer nested into it. I was browsing around, but I am still quite confused about how to proceed.

Any help very appreciated!

Thank you

I'm not sure, but maybe it will help you...

var doc = activeDocument,
	currentArtboard = getActiveArtboard();

/* ======================== */
alert(currentArtboard);
/* ======================== */

function getActiveArtboard() {
	while(true) {
		if (isArtboardLayer()) {
			return doc.activeLayer
		}
		selectForwardLayer();
	}
}

function isArtboardLayer() {
	var ref = new ActionReference();
	ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt"));
	var isArtboardLayer = executeActionGet(ref).getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("artboardEnabled"));
	return isArtboardLayer
}

function selectForwardLayer() {
	var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
	var ref = new ActionReference();
	ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Frwr'));
	desc.putReference(charIDToTypeID('null'), ref);
	desc.putBoolean(charIDToTypeID('MkVs'), false);
	executeAction(charIDToTypeID('slct'), desc, DialogModes.NO);
}

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you nvkzNemo‌ !

Or this... better a little

var doc = activeDocument,
	l = doc.activeLayer,
	p = l.parent,
	key = false,
	currentArtboard = getActiveArtboard();

/* ========================= */
alert(currentArtboard);
doc.activeLayer = l;
/* ========================= */

function getActiveArtboard() {
	try{
    	while(!key) {
			doc.activeLayer = p;
			var ref = new ActionReference();
			ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt'));
			key = executeActionGet(ref).getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("artboardEnabled"));

			if (key) {
				return p
			}

			p = p.parent;
    	}
	}catch (e) {
		alert('That layer without artboard');
		return undefined
	}
}
