For a project of mine: Custmm Grumm<\/a> I needed to change a shape into an array (explained in this post shape 2 array jsfl<\/a> ).<\/p>\n

To make this happen I imported the .AI file (Illustrator) to the stage. But it will place everything on one layer, every shape it’s own ‘group’ and the script I wrote (shape 2 array jsfl<\/a>), needs every shape on one layer.
\n\"Flash<\/a><\/p>\n

So here a script that, as long the different shape are still group individually, will give every shape it’s own layer.<\/p>\n

Update #1:<\/strong> This script is not only useful in this project, in every project where you have a lot of objects that need there own layer, this is the JSFL for you!
\nRemember if you need to animate an movieclip, it needs to have it’s own layer (timeline)<\/div>\n

\nNeed a lot of item on there own layer (own timeline) in Flash, don’t copy past it one by one, but just use this JSFL\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not sure how to call this script when you save it: “[mck] object2layer.jsfl<\/strong>”
