Renaming Selected Library.

[ramesh03]

Hi,
I am a Python programmer(Maya),very new to flash,Friend asked one script from flash,Which renames selected items from Library.I googled it and i found some info.This is the script(After small changes).

var addText;
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickButtonHandler);
var selectedItems = fl.getDocumentDOM().library.getSelectedItems();

function clickButtonHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
    if (selectedItems.length == 0)
    {
        alert("Please select 1 or more symbols in the library.");
    } else if (selectedItems.length >= 1)
    {
        addText = myText.text;
        changeLibraryNames();
    }
}

function changeLibraryNames()
{
    var i;
    if (addText == null)
    {

    } else
    {
        for (i = 0; i < selectedItems.length; i++)
        {
            selectedItems[i].name = selectedItems[i].name + addText;
        }
    }
}

If i run this from script editor.I am getting errors like "Access to undefined property fl" and "undefined method alert".

I think i need to include some headerfile stuff ???

Please explain me some detailed way(Bcoz i am very new to flash-First time i am using flash).

Thanks.

fl is a Flash library.
You cannot access Flash's libraries this way.
Furthermore, it would be pretty hard to explain to you all the ways to use predefined objects and functions in Flash.
I suggest that you read some of the help docs on Adobe's site.
It will take a while to find what you're looking for, but it would be the best way.

Also. "alert" is undefined because you didn't define it. There is not predefined function called "alert". The closest function I can think of "trace()".
Good luck.

Also also. There are no headers in flash, and I'm pretty sure there aren't any compiler directives.
