AFX Script Problem Visual Studio Code

Hi,

i recently started scripting and wrote a script in VS Studio for After Effects, which works fine when i run it from Visual Studio. But when i save it and run the script from After Effect it gives me an error message: "unable to execute at line 20..."

which is a function in my script. everything before gets executed.

I have Variables (a,b) in my function because i am looking for several Objects meaning CompItem, FootageItem, Folderitem where I'm looking for specific names as a string.

The Function looks like that:

function graballItems(a, b) {
  var proj, curItem, itemTotal, ItemAry;

  proj = app.project;

  itemTotal = proj.numItems;

  ItemAry = new Array();

  for (var i = 1; i <= itemTotal; i++) {
    curItem = proj.item(i);

    if (curItem instanceof b && curItem.name.indexOf(a) !== -1) {
      ItemAry = curItem;
    }
  }
  return ItemAry;
}

// And i use it like that:

var myCompBeauty = graballItems("CAN_ENDTAG_PRE", CompItem);

But strange though, that it is working from VS Studio.

Does anybody know why the error message appears?

Cheers

Martin

The line "ItemAry = new Array()" suggests that you want to return an array of the found items. But in the line

ItemAry = curItem;

you replace your array with a single item.

If you want to grab all items, you most likely want to do

ItemAry.push(curItem)

instead.

First of all, thank you both for your quick reply.

I tried to implement the try and catch statement but without any sucess.

I implemented the push item command but recognized that i only need one item not an array so i changed it to just get the curitem. But still the same error.

Last thing i wanted to try to set an alert line by line to check where the code breaks exactly.

Strange enough the script works like that:

function graballItems (a,b){

alert("OK");

var proj,curItem,itemTotal,MyItem;

proj = app.project;

itemTotal = proj.numItems;

for (var i =1; i<= itemTotal; i++){

curItem = proj.item(i);

if (curItem instanceof b && curItem.name.indexOf(a) !== -1 ){

MyItem = curItem;

}

return MyItem;

}

But of course i don't want to have an alert 10 times while the script is running.

thanks for your help, Mathias!

Sorry for the noob question how do i set breakpoints in my script in VS Studio?

Did all the implementations work all fine but still, only when i have this alert line activ.

Without the alert it gives me the Error.

But as said only when i save it. When i launch it from VS Studio directly everything works fine as well.

Ah and the script will always find the specific elements (comps, footage, and folder).

It's a script for a specific Project , but good to have the throw error statement, though.

Isn't it strange that the script works as it should when the alert is active, and when it is not it throws me an error?

Just tested and it works for me after commenting out that line. Try putting it in a try catch and see if you can get any more info on the error.
