Shape Layers: Undefined is not an object

Question

I’ve used rd_GimmePropPath to get the Match Names for shape properties but I get an “undefined is not an object” error using the following:

app.project.item(1).layer("Shape").("ADBE Root Vectors Group")("ADBE Vector Shape - Ellipse")("ADBE Vector Ellipse Position”).setValue(-535,-311);

Any insight into accessing shape layer properties via scripting would be appreciated.

Thanks for your persistence. I'm not having any luck, copied and pasted the code you sent and it just stops dead with an error. Tested on 2 machines.

I owe you one Dan. You're a tremendous asset to the community, I used the tip jar on your site to help you keep the lights on.

Are you still getting the "undefined is not an object" error?

I would break it into pieces and see where you're getting the error:

var myLayer = app.project.item(1).layer("Pinky");

var temp1 = myLayer.property("ADBE Root Vectors Group");

var temp2 = temp1.property("ADBE Vector Group");

var temp3 = temp2.property("ADBE Vectors Group");

var temp4 = temp3.property("ADBE Vector Shape - Ellipse");

var temp5 = temp4.property("ADBE Vector Ellipse Position");

temp5.setValue([-535,-311]);

It probably needs to be like this:setValue([-535,-311]);Dan
