Can't get a comparison between a folder name and a string to work

-

dear community,

 

i have simple extendscript-example can't work , have no idea wrong. i'm trying write script goes through items in project panel , stores references folders names "layer1", "layer2", , on, in array. code should alert 3 times in case, doesn't alert once..

 

for (var i=1; i<=app.project.numitems; i++)

{

    if ((app.project.item(i) instanceof folderitem) && (app.project.item(i).name == "layer"+i))

    { 

        alert("found folder = " + app.project.item(i).name);

    }

}

 

inside project in root-directory there 2 comps , 3 folders named 'layer1', 'layer2' , 'layer3' - should see 3 alerts when executing above script. testing-purposes changed second part of if-statement 'static' value so:

.. && (app.project.item(i).name == "layer1"))  --> works! need dynamic solution..

 

thanks in advance!

 

greetings,

gilbert

it works me on cs6 windows. what's platform?
