Publish Each Layer With Layer Name

[sheepfilms]

Hello all

I'm trying to create a JSFL that publishes all normal layers, not guide or mask layers, and using the layer name as the exported swf. I've found a script that's most of the way there, exporting PNGs from the layers but using an arbitrary name rather than the layer name. Found here BTW

Could anyone help me adapt it?

var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var lyrs = doc.getTimeline().layers;

var len = lyrs.length;
var lyr;
var originalType;
var i;
var pngName;
var saveName;

// Get a save location.
var saveDir = fl.browseForFolderURL("Choose a folder in which to save your exported PNGs:");
if (saveDir) {
	// Get the Flash document's name, and strip off the final ".fla", and build a base name for the exported files.
	fl.outputPanel.clear();
	var docName = doc.name;
	var extensionIndex = docName.lastIndexOf(".fla");
	if (extensionIndex == docName.length - 4) {
		docName = docName.substring(0, extensionIndex);
	}
	saveName = saveDir + "/" + docName;
	
	// Acceptable values are "normal", "guide", "guided", "mask", "masked", and "folder".
	var originalTypes = new Array();
	
	// Grab all original layer types.  Need to do this before setting to guide, because otherwise a mask layer turned
	// to guide would would turn a masked layer into a normal layer.
	for (i=0; i < len; i++) {
		lyr = lyrs[i];
		originalTypes[i] = lyr.layerType;
	};
	
	// Guide all layers.
	for (i=0; i < len; i++) {
		lyr = lyrs[i];
		lyr.layerType = "guide";
	};

	// Save layers that were originally "normal" as PNGs, one-by-one.
	for (i=0; i < len; i++) {
		lyr = lyrs[i];
		originalType = originalTypes[i]
		if (originalType == "normal" || originalType == "guided") {
			lyr.layerType = "normal";
			exportPng(i);
			lyr.layerType = "guide";
		}
		
		// In this case, we need to loop backwards until we find the mask layer, then re-mask this layer, before we export.
		if (originalType == "masked") {
			for (var j=i; j >= 0; j--) {
				if (originalTypes[j] == "mask") {
					var maskLyrSearch = lyrs[j];
					maskLyrSearch.layerType = "mask";
					lyr.layerType = "masked";
					exportPng(i);
					maskLyrSearch.layerType = "guide";
					lyr.layerType = "guide";
					break;
				}
			};
		}
		
	};

	// Reset all layers to their original types.
	for (i=0; i < len; i++) {
		lyr = lyrs[i];
		lyr.layerType = originalTypes[i];
	};


}

function exportPng(i) {
	pngName = saveName + i + ".png";
	doc.exportPNG(pngName, true, true);
	fl.trace("Exported: " + pngName);
}

I've changed the end exportPNG funtion to create SWFs

function exportPng(i) {
	pngName = saveName + ".swf";
	doc.exportSWF(pngName, true, true);
	fl.trace("Exported: " + pngName);
}

It's just I can't get the layer name from this, even though I've tried using the doc.getTimeline().getLayerProperty('name'); command

Thanks!

I got in touch with the person who wrote the original script and was given the solution

Change line 45 from

exportPng(i);

to this:

exportPng(lyr.name);

I also altered the line

saveName = saveDir + "/" + docName;

To not include the docName. Job done!
