    Guys, have we been abandoned?

    Why are we still waitting here? Are they busying fixing the script bugs in cc, or they just moved on?

    Or they are preparing a big surprise for us?

    Please tell us what are we waitting for here?

    Ps, Please fix the broken communication between scriptui and flashplayer!!!

    I have customers emailing me complaining that they can't use my scripts in CC, and there is nothing I can do about it because of multiple issues.... Fiddlesticks.

    Same here ... and scripting API bugs submitted through the prerelease program still appear as unverified.

    layer.blendingMode will return:

    - in CS6 for "Normal": 4412

    - in CC for "Normal": 4612

    That mean your CS6 script will not work in CC.

    Adobe, please give me any idea, WHY have you change returning value in latest AE release?

    Thank you!

    zanozza, these values have always changed between versions of AE, and you don't need to use the actual values since there are variables defined in the scripting guide in the form "BlendingMode.NORMAL". Read the After Effects scripting guide to find them all: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/aftereffects/pdfs/aftereffectscs3_scripting_guide.pdf

    Oh, thank you, maxwell!

    I am actually Python writer, so Java in AE is quite new for me.

    Thank you!

    Todd,

    I'm sure you're busy with other things. But I, along with a few other people, asked for these changes over 2 months ago and you supplied the same response then. "Soon". And now that CC has launched, all of my scripts, plus a new one about to launch on aescripts, are in shambles since the layout system in CC has changed dramatically. And I have not a clue about how to fix them without documentation or any idea about whats changed. Wouldn't it have been better to make the the scripting/scriptui changes available before the launch so that script authors would have had an idea of what was going to change before the launch?
