manipulating data from the AEPX

Hey guys,

I'm trying to write a script to save a layer setup, effects, layer styles, and all, and be able to apply it to other comps later (with source footage changes). It's mostly working except for some problem effects, like effects with propertyValueTypes that are CUSTOM_VALUEs. I'm wondering if a more foolproof way to do this would be to avoid trying to recreate the structure, and instead somehow use the XML data for the comp I'm saving from the .aepx to directly copy the comp structure.

The problem is I'm completely new to working with AEPX XMLs, and don't even know if what I'm wanting to do is possible, or if people have tried this before. All I'm seeing is a bunch of XML tags like tdmn tdbs aRbs aRbp and some hex sandwiched between rows of 0s.
