I don't know why I'm getting "Function Object is undefined" error with this script.

Hi There,

I have a script that is adding a single comp to the render queue and applying a Render Setting template and Output Module template to the added render queue item.  For some reason, I'm getting an error on the first line that reads:

app.project.renderQueue.items(1).applyTemplate("MY SETTINGS");

I've attached the error dialog image here:

Here's a portion of the script.


        var currentProjectItem;
        var globalCompItemID;
        var renderCompItemID;

        for (var i=1;  i <= app.project.numItems; i++)
        {
            currentProjectItem = app.project.item(i);
            if (currentProjectItem.name == "globals")
            {
                globalCompItemID = i;
            } else if (currentProjectItem.name == "!_FINAL RENDER") {
                renderCompItemID = i;
            }
        }

        //add the necessary preview render jobs
        app.project.renderQueue.items.add(app.project.item(renderCompItemID));
        app.project.renderQueue.items(1).applyTemplate("MY SETTINGS");               <---THIS IS WHERE AE ERRORS
        app.project.renderQueue.items(1).outputModules[1].applyTemplate("MY SETTINGS");
        app.project.renderQueue.items.add(app.project.item(renderCompItemID));
        app.project.renderQueue.items(2).applyTemplate("MY SETTINGS");
        app.project.renderQueue.items(2).outputModules[1].applyTemplate("MY SETTINGS");
        app.project.renderQueue.items.add(app.project.item(renderCompItemID));
        app.project.renderQueue.items(3).applyTemplate("MY SETTINGS");
        app.project.renderQueue.items(3).outputModules[1].applyTemplate("MY SETTINGS");

 
 The comp that I want to add is being added to the render queue, it just refuses to invoke the applyTemplate() method on the most recently added render queue item.
Any ideas why I'm getting this error?
Thanks!

I think from the line where the error occured on, you should be using renderQueue.item() instead of renderQueue.items() (except when you're adding something to the render queue).
