Export png24 from Illustrator with white background

[booder101]

Hello, I think this there is a simple solution, I just cannot find it. I want to export a layer of Illustrator with a white background. I am able to export the layer, but it has a transparent background. I got the basic code off the internet and just changed options.transparency = false but this does not do the trick. Greatly appreciate any help - I have looked thru Javascript/actionscript reference guides searching for setting background to white but have not had luck.. Thank you!

script follows:
/**

var folder = Folder.selectDialog();
var document = app.activeDocument;
if(document && folder)
{
var options = new ExportOptionsPNG24();
options.antiAliasing = true;
options.transparency = false;

var n = document.layers.length;
for(var i=0; i<n; ++i)
{
hideAllLayers();
var layer = document.layers[i];
layer.visible = true;

var file = new File(folder.fsName+"/"+layer.name+".png");

var options = new ExportOptionsPNG24();
options.artBoardClipping = true;

document.exportFile(file,ExportType.PNG24,options) ;


}

showAllLayers();
}

function hideAllLayers()
{
forEach(document.layers, function(layer) {
layer.visible = false;
});
}

function showAllLayers()
{
forEach(document.layers, function(layer) {
layer.visible = true;
});
}

function forEach(collection, fn)
{
var n = collection.length;
for(var i=0; i<n; ++i)
{
fn(collection[i]);
}
}

PNG supports transparency. So one solution could be changing the setup in your illustrator file. There you could change the background to white instead of transparent.

Thank you for your reply. I did try changing the background color in Illustrator to white - but it only displays as white, but does not export as white (since there is no real white rectangle in the background). I can't create a white rectangle to be the background because I have many separate layers in my Illustrator file so I would have to create that background many times.

When exporting to png from Illustrator, it does prompt for Background color - giving options for Transparent, White, Black, Custom. Is there a way to access or assign the background color for the exported layer through scripting there?
Appreciate any help.
