I've just been writing a tonne of JSFL scripts for a project so have done a
lot of this. Here's a few generic lines grabbed form some of my scripts...
<code>
var focussedDoc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var targetLibrary = focussedDoc.library;
var selectedItems = targetLibrary.getSelectedItems();
for( i = 0; i < selectedItems.length; i++ ) {
targetLibrary.editItem( selectedItems[i].name );
var editingTimeline = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline();
for( e = 0; e < editingTimeline.layers[0].frames[0].elements.length; e++ ) {
var currentElement = editingTimeline.layers[0].frames[0].elements[e];
currentElement.x = 0 + currentElement.width/2;
currentElement.y = 0 + currentElement.height/2;
}
}
focussedDoc.exitEditMode();
</code>
To use this:
1) Select all the symbols in the library you would like to align
2) run the command
Note:
- It assumes that each library symbol consists of only a single frame and a
single layer. If there are more layers and frames you'll need to iterate
through each of them using the editingTimeline.layers and
editingTimeline.layers[x].frames arrays.
- It will align all elements on a single frame so the top left corners of
their bounding boxes are at 0,0
- all raw shapes on a single frame are treated as a single element. They
need to be grouped or converted to symbols to be treated individually by
JSFL
- it will return your editing focus to the main timeline upon completion
Without knowing more about the exact structure of your symbols it's a little
difficult to be more precise with the code but this should give you the
basics you need to customise your own script.
