set active artboard by name in illustrator?

Question

There is getActiveArtboardIndex and setActiveArtboardIndex, I can get the Artboard object with getByName.

But how do I set active artboard by name?

Or at least get index from the Artboard object?

Answer 1

Not the most elegant way, but still solves the problem:

var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var ABName = "Artboard Name";
function setActiveArtboardBy(name) {
    var artboard = docRef.artboards.getByName(name);
    for (i = 0; i < docRef.artboards.length; i++) {
        if (docRef.artboards[i] == artboard) {
            docRef.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex(i);
            break;
        }
    }
}
setActiveArtboardBy(ABName);
