Yes there is. I read the Help for this but it does not seem to be anything that will be of help. I did however run the Release to Layers, both with and without the Shift key held down as explained in the help below. This created over 8,000 layers!
Thanks for continuing to assist me.
Creating layers automatically
The Release to Layers command creates a new layer for each object in the selected layer or group. The resulting layers are located within the selected layer or group.
If you are using the Release to Layers command on complex groups such as a blend between two objects, you need to ensure that the group is selected in the Layers palette, rather than just the top-most layer. For more information, see Targeting layers, groups, and objects to apply appearance attributes.
To place objects on separate layers:
1 Select the layer or group in the Layers palette.
2 Do one of the following:
To separate each object onto its own layer, choose Release to Layers from the Layers palette menu. For example, assume Layer 1 contains a series of circles, one next to the other. This command places each circle on its own layer. This is useful for creating motion animation effects when you export the frames, by showing each frame with the object in a new position.
To separate objects cumulatively onto layers, hold down the Shift key and choose Release to Layers from the Layers palette menu. For example, assume Layer 1 contains a circle, a square, and a triangle. This command creates three layers, one with a circle, square, and triangle; one with a circle and square; and one with just a circle. This is useful for creating cumulative animation effects when you export the frames, showing one object, then each additional object, for a kind of "typewriter" effect.
You can export layers as Flash frames to create a Flash animation. You can select the Write Layers option when exporting in Photoshop file format to create a GIF animation with Photoshop.
