Question

Javascript Version in AE?

Hi, I'm curious what version of Javascript backs scripting in After Effects?  Is there a way of checking?  Anyway to upgrade or change the version of JS?  I'm just curious how much I might be able to play with the core javascript implementation and customize things in various ways.  Not sure even if it's something where source files are available...

Any info or help in the right direction is greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance!

Calvin

from the first page of the scripting guide:

"After Effects scripts use the Adobe ExtendScript language, which is an extended form of JavaScript used by  several Adobe applications, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. ExtendScript implements the JavaScript language according to the ECMA-262 specification. The After Effects scripting engine supports the  3rd Edition of the ECMA-262 Standard, including its notational and lexical conventions, types, objects, expressions, and statements. ExtendScript also implements the E4X ECMA-357 specification, which defines access  to data in XML format."

FWIW, we are currently investigating updating the engine to a more recent one.
