Scripting help needed... switching layers?

[AndrewWickliffe]

Is it possible to get the layer # of an object and use it in scripting.

Or, simplier, is it possible to switch the layers of a couple objects?

TIA

Hi,

you are almost there.

script snippets:

get the layer of btn "myButton"
set the layer of grc "myGraphic" to 1
set the layer of img "myImage" to the number of layers

Hope that helps,

Malte

Thanks.

if I use the "get the layer" command, can I save that data so I can set another image to that layer?

get the layer of btn "myButton"
(new command here)
set the layer of btn "myNewButton" to (the result of that command)

Thanks again,
Andrew

If you use get the result is stored in the it variable.

get the layer of btn "myButton"
set the layer of btn "myOtherButton" to it

You could also use a temporary var like this.

put the layer of btn "myButton" into tOldLayer
set the layer of btn "myOtherButton" to tOldLayer

All the best,

Malte
