timeline.findLayerIndex()

Availability

Flash MX 2004.

Usage

timeline.findLayerIndex(name)

Parameters

name A string that specifies the name of the layer to find.

Returns

An array of index values for the specified layer. If the specified layer is not found, Animate returns undefined.

Description

Method; finds an array of indexes for the layers with the given name. The layer index is flat, so folders are considered part of the main index.

Example

The following example shows the index values of all layers named Layer 7 in the Output panel:

var layerIndex = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().findLayerIndex("Layer 7");
fl.trace(layerIndex);

The following example illustrates how to pass the values returned from this method back to timeline.setSelectedLayers():

var layerIndex = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().findLayerIndex("Layer 1");
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().setSelectedLayers(layerIndexAnimate[0Animate], true);
