Accessing clips inside bins using Extendscript

Question

Hey everyone,

Apologies if this is a common sense answer (it certainly sounds like it would be). I'm trying to use extendscript to assign a clip in my project window to a variable. So I've figured out how to access most things in the project window. I just type "

app.project.rootItem.children[index]" That's simple enough. But I can't figure out how to get inside bins. I've tried using multiple indexes like this "

app.project.rootItem.children[index][index]" but that doesn't do it. Does anyone know how I could accomplish this?

Take a look at how PProPanel walks all project bins and items, to dump their XMP; it checks whether bins have any children.

Apologies everyone, looks like I figured it out. If anyone else ends up with the same question and finds this, you need to add ".children" a second time as well. So it would look like this: "app.project.rootItem.children[index].children[index]"
