JSFL: Convert layer to movieclip

[Ultim-o]

Hi There,

Is it possible to convert layers to movieclips? I have about 1200 layers, on each layer 1 group. I want them converted to movieclips.

Is something like this possible?

Thanks in advance,

Tim.

This is definitely possible. My code isn't complete but hopefully it would give you an idea for what you could do.


var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var tl = doc.getTimeline();
var library = doc.library
var mc_tl;

for (var i = 0; i < tl.layers.length; i++){
tl.setSelectedLayers(i);
tl.cutFrames();
library.addNewItem("movie clip", "mc" + i);
library.editItem("mc" + i);
mc_tl = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline();
mc_tl.setSelectedLayers(0);
mc_tl.pasteFrames();
doc.exitEditMode();
library.addItemToDocument({x:0, y:0}, "mc" + i);
}


Basically what this does it goes through each layer, cuts the frames, creates a new movie clip in the library, pastes the frames in the new symbol, exits the symbol and goes on to the next layer.
