Top level group reference.

[BradRE]

I've made a reference to a frame found via the scriptLabel. This frame and its corresponding group have successfully been (removed) every time, until I ran into an instance where the grouping structure changed (i.e. .parent.parent.parent.) is there a general reference to the top level of the group of a variable frame that has already been defined. I've tried myFrame.groupItems, groups, etc... with no luck.

(myResult == true){myFrame.parent.parent.remove()}

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

this snippet select a top-level-group what I understand.

is my understanding correct?

var sel = app.selection[0];
var ret = find_parent(sel, 'Group');
function find_parent (obj, constructor) {
  if (obj.parent.parent.constructor.name !== constructor) {
    return obj.parent
  }
  else {
    return arguments.callee(obj.parent, constructor);
  }
  return null
}
if (ret) {
  ret.select();
}
// page/spread/story
//   top-level-group ----> select this group
//     parent-parent-group
//       parent-group
//         target

thank you
