Question
AE Extensions Build // HTML/CEP Is it possible to have 2 instances of an extension running?
Hi, I am currently working on an after effects extension build through the html/cep route. I am looking for a way to have a button open up another instance of the same extension. The extension is similar to kbar but it has tabs to group internal tools for my company. I would like to be able to click a button which would open up another instance of the extension and they can select different tabs for each instance and have them docked anywhere in after effects.
Is it even possible to have more then 1 instance of the same extension?
I've tried using csinterface.requestOpenExtension(uniqueID) but this does not work.
document.getElementById("newInt").addEventListener("click", function() {
var newInst = new CSInterface();
newInst.requestOpenExtension(com.msetest.test);
alert("test");
})
This code will result in alert("test") so I know that the button is being clicked and read properly but it is not opening a new instance.
