Auto export of layers on Illustrator

How can I export every single layer separately and do this automatically in
one click? I don't like that Illustrator doesn't contain a multipage option
for projects. Hence of this, when I want to store a multipage project I use
the layers 'cheat' instead. Every single layer contains one complete
page/scene of my project.
The problem of this solvation appears when I need to export every layers
separately. I have to mark the eye on single layer, then export. It takes a
lot of time when I have multipage project. Is there any way to make it
automatically? Is there any other way how you solve that probl?

You might also investigate using multiple pages in Illustrator. Under
Document Setup (or the Print dialog in Illustrator CS & CS2) make an
artboard that is several pages large, and choose "Tile full pages".

Tip: let Illustrator do the math for you. If you want n A4 pages,
select A4 as a page size, then just append "*n" to the width or height
to get the size of the artboard you need.

nice thing,
but that doesn't solve my problem basically. Is there at least any adequate
option of photoshop's batch?

This is achievable through scripting. I've seen a script somewhere that
exports a flash format, taking each frame from a separate document layer.

Any idea where to find it?

I think that I stumbled across it on www.adobe.com. Go to Support |
Forums | Illustrator Scripting.

If you want to find out more about scripting then you should find some
documentation on the installation CD, or you could check out:-

http://partners.adobe.com/public/de..._scripting.html

What you want to achieve is not actually difficult in programming terms.
It might be worth your while, especially in the long-run, to learn one
of the supported languages, if you're not familiar with one already of
course.
