Selecting an element

[trymedo]

Hi,

I'm sure what I need to do here is actually very simple, but Im having some trouble with it.

My aim is to have one *Template* scene that I set up exactly how I need it, with layers and movieclips all layed out how I want them

Then, in my script, I would like to duplicate this scene, give it a new name, and set up some parameters on the component movieclips on the stage.

I have already managed to duplicate the scene and insert set number of frames, labels & actions. This is fine.
Now I need to loop through the layers elements until I find one called "StepList" and set its "prefix" parameter to a variable string.

This is all I need to do and my first usefull jsfl will be complete :)

Please, anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

Hopefully you already have some of this, but each layer has an array frames. Each frame has an array elements. To go through every element in the document:

var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var time = doc.getTimeline();
var layers = time.layers;
for(var l = 0; l < layers.length; l++){

// Find every frame in every layer
var frames = layers[i].frames;
for(var f = 0; f < frames.length; f++){

// Find each element in each frame
var elements = frames[f].elements;
for(var e = 0; e < elements.length; e++){

var currentElem = elements[e];

if (currentElem.libraryItem == "complete/path/to/libitem"){
// should set the first parameter
currentElem.parameters[0].value="foo"
}
}
}
}
