shape2array.jsfl

/**
*
* this script only works under certain conditions:
*       - everything that is selected must be shapes, if not, this doesn’t work (select all and ctrl+b (break))
*       - every shape has to be in a different layer, otherwise the script see it as one shape
*
* The result of this jsfl is not always what you expect…
*       sometimes geometric shapes like squares/rectangles/triangles are all f#$%ed-up (it looks like curves are made to opposite corners)
*       I have no solution for that in this jsfl (in the code), it seems that Flash ‘reads’ the shape wrong (or in the wrong order)…
*       But you could try:  - I used the straighten tool which worked in one case, but not in the other
*                       - rotated a square 90 degrees
*                       - both solutions
*
