Reply To: Script to move images to seperate layer

Hi William

You must move the parent of the graphic and not the graphic itself. The parent is the frame containing the graphic.
And then I believe you need to loop through each of them to do so. (Maybe there is a smarter way than looping.)

var theDoc = app.activeDocument;
var theGraphics = theDoc.allGraphics;

if(!theDoc.layers.item (“images”).isValid){
var imgLayer = theDoc.layers.add({name:”images”}); //adding layer if it is not present
}
else {
var imgLayer = theDoc.layers.item(“images”);
}

for (var i = 0; i < theGraphics.length; i++) {
theGraphics[i].parent.itemLayer = imgLayer;
}
