It's a simple little thing could be useful later I. I have a gut
feeling something like this will be needed

This is the sytem I'm using now to collect the info

    array[array.length] = {
        dynlayer:c.name,
        x:c.getX(),
        y:c.getY(),
        w:c.getWidth(),
        h:c.getHeight(),
        color:c.getBgColor(),
        v:c.getVisible(),
        z:c.getZIndex(),
        img:c.getBgImage(),
        html:c.getHTML(),
        parent:c.parent.name,
        locked:c.isLocked,
        isVisible:c.isVisible,
        vislyr:c.vislyr,
        linkedTo:c.linkedTo,
        name:c.name,
        isRelative: c.isRelative
    } 

Isn't this the fastest way. There are no sub arrays or objects.
Except for relative (not tested this feature with save and paste)
They are all numbers and strings.
