getting the name of a selected item on the stage using JSFL

Question

I want to be able to select a item (image, movieclip etc) that has been added to the stage in Flash and access its file name.

So if I drag a image called 'imageOne.png' onto the stage, I want to be able to access its name, 'imageOne.png', and pass it to a Extension for Flash that I'm building.

I know I can get details from the library, but not from the items selected on the stage.

Can anyone tell me how to access this information using JSFL.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can select a library item with the following method :

fl.getDocumentDOM().library.selectItem('name')

After selecting a library, it's possible to access pretty much everything you need.

Also, more about what's available to you in JSFL : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/extend/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9024f3f-7ff8CS5.html

Answer 2

fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].libraryItem.name
