I've got sprites organized into sublayers and am looking for a way to get all the sprites on a single sublayer. Was expecting to see a function like layer.GetAllObjects() but I don't see anything like that.

Any ideas? Prefer to be able to do it in javascript but if there's an event way to do it that's also ok. Thanks.

I don't think there's a build-in way to do this, you can however do this
const sprites = runtime.objects.Sprite.getAllInstances(); // array of all "Sprite" instances const filtered = sprites.filter((e) => e.layer.name === "Layer 0"); // array of instances on "Layer 0"

If you need all types of objects/sprites/9-patches from the layer, you can use concat to merge the arrays into one.
