Hi

Is it possible to get the colors data (e.g. color, opacity, location, orientation of gradient) of an gradient-fill in a shapelayer by script?

I can get the property with:

myShape.property("ADBE Vector Graphic - G-Fill").property("ADBE Vector Grad Colors");

But its "value" field has no actual value. It holds an error.

sorry for german screenshot.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

i don't have access to AE right, so can't check, but the gradient value is very propably of "custom value" type, hence cannot be displayed. AE provides no scripting info/framework for this type of data.

From your screenshot the propertyValueType is 5212. To know what this is pointing to you can do:

var type = myShape.property("ADBE Vector Graphic - G-Fill").property("ADBE Vector Grad Colors").propertyValueType, key;

for (key in PropertyValueType) if (PropertyValueType[key]===type) {alert(key); break;};

You 'll probably receive a "CUSTOM" alert, in which case there is nothing you can do.
