Select all "Smart Objects" layers

[dimitric]

Hello -

I would like to create an action for a colleague of mine.
In the "process" I need to select ONLY the "smart object" layers.
To do this I'm using the filtering option in the "layers" palette.
Unfortunately it works perfectly manually, but t isn't not recorded into the action.

Someone on Adobe's forum made a script but apparently we can only activate one "Smart Object" layer at a time.
So this script works, but it only activate 1 "Smart Object" layer.
Is there a way to modify the script that it activate ALL "Smart Object" layer present in the active document?
 
Thank you,

Here is the script:
 

Code: Select all

smartObjectLayerSelect();

 

function smartObjectLayerSelect() {

    var docRef = activeDocument;

    // var idlayersFiltered = stringIDToTypeID( "layersFiltered" );  



    for (var i = 0; i < docRef.artLayers.length; i++) {

        var LayerRef = docRef.artLayers[i];

        if (LayerRef.kind == LayerKind.SMARTOBJECT) {

            docRef.activeLayer = LayerRef;

            // Do stuff in here

            // docRef.activeLayer.opacity = 50;

            // docRef.activeHistoryState;

            alert ("I am an alert box!  " + i);

        }

    }

}

I'm a bit late to the party, however, jazz-y created the following script, I have changed the number over from text to smart objects:
