ArtLayer
An object within a document that contains the visual elements of the image (equivalent to a layer in the
Adobe Photoshop CS6 application).
Access an art layer in a document through the Document
.artLayers collection. You can access a layer by
name; for example:
var layerRef = app.activeDocument.artLayers.getByName("my layer");
layerRef.allLocked = true;
Access the art layers in a layer set through the LayerSet.artLayers collection in the parent set.
