Hi all,

I'm looking for a script for a tutorial that I am doing for Digit magazine. I will obviously give full credit to anyone who can supply me with it, and will also include the ae enhancers URL.

Basically I need a script that will choose the layer above a selected layer for it's parent. As if dragging the parenting pickwhip from the bottom layer to the next one up and so on till all layers in the comp are parented to the one above them in the comp. Does this make sense?

Would really appreciate your help with this, thanks a million!
