I am creating a dropdown menu to select a layer and make it visible according to dropdown selection. All layers are in a saperate comp and I have assigned a dropdown menu on saperate layer. I have 12 layers in comp for which i am using dropdown menu. 

From 1 to 9 items in dropdown menu, there is no issue, after 9th I cant see selected layer. whatever item I select from dropdown after 9, its hidden

    Your parseInt(thisLayer.name[0]) is only looking at the first character of the layer name. I think it will work if you change it to just parseInt(thisLayer.name).

      I am using below script for the same

      select = comp("new charcter sheet_Front_2").layer("Head").effect("Hair Style options")("Menu");
      (select == parseInt(thisLayer.name[0])) ? value : 0;
