Description

Returns an array of the selected items in the Assets panel, either in the site list or Favorites list.

Arguments

None.

Returns

An array of three strings for each selected item:

name is the name/file name or nickname as seen in the panel.
value is the full file path, full URL, or color value depending on the item selected.
type is either "folder" or one of the categories: "templates", "library", "images", "movies", "shockwave", "flash", "scripts", "colors", or "urls".

Example

If "URLs" is the category, and a folder "MyFolderName" and a URL "MyFavoriteURL" are both selected in the Favorites list, the function will return:

items[0] = "MyFolderName"
items[1] = " "
items[2] = "folder"
items[3] = "MyFavoriteURL"
items[4] = "http://www.MyFavoriteURL.com"
items[5] = "urls"
