Arie is spot on. I use the pass through method mostly myself, but either will do.
And David, sorry that I inadvertently hijacked this thread with my troubleshooting questions.
Keeps bringing my tutorial info up for the eyes to see. No complaints here. 
Hi David,
Many thanks for your tutorial series. This is really big great job!
But I not understand how can I add dynamic code to my UI panels?
Here's my code:
{
var a = "It's working!";
function myScript(thisObj){
function myScript_buildUI(thisObj){
var myPanel = (thisObj instanceof Panel) ? thisObj : new Window("palette", "AE вещает ёпт", undefined);
res = "group{orientation:'row', alligment:['fill','fill'], alignChildren:['fill','fill'],\
groupOne: Group{orientation:'column', alligment:['fill','fill'], alignChildren:['fill','fill'],\
myImage: Image{text:'nothing', image:'~/Desktop/joy.png'}, alligment:['fill','top'],\
myButton: Button{text:'Ok'}, alligment:['fill','top'],\
},\
groupTwo: Group{orientation:'column',\
myStaticText: StaticText{text:'Пора играть в Diablo III - Даже AE тебе говорит епт'}, alligment:['fill','top'],\
mySlider: Slider{text:'slider', value:'50'}, alligment:['fill','top'],\
},\
}";
myPanel.grp = myPanel.add(res);
// размер окна
myPanel.layout.layout(true);
myPanel.grp.minimumSize = myPanel.grp.size;
//изменяемый размер панелей
myPanel.layout.resize();
myPanel.onResizing = myPanel.onResize = function(){this.layout.resize()};
return myPanel;
}
var myScriptPal = myScript_buildUI(thisObj);
if((myScriptPal != null) && (myScriptPal instanceof Window)){
myScriptPal.center();
myScriptPal.show();
}
}
myScript(this);
}
I'll try to explain. I want click on my "Ok" Button and she say
alert(a);
The question is, how do I make dynamic elements in this code. I don't understand where I should insert this code. How to program for example - myButton. Should I turn to the "res" files or not? And how it work?
And another question, in AE CC version my window isn't dockable and {resizable: true} don't work too. I want put my window inside AE panels...
Sorry for my English. Thanks for your time David.
Update: I'll create myButton.onClick function, but it doesn't work... Script in the button work fine, i'll check.
{
function myScript(thisObj){
function myScript_buildUI(thisObj){
var myPanel = (thisObj instanceof Panel) ? thisObj : new Window("palette", "AE вещает ёпт", undefined);
res = "group{orientation:'row', alligment:['fill','fill'], alignChildren:['fill','fill'],\
groupOne: Group{orientation:'column', alligment:['fill','fill'], alignChildren:['fill','fill'],\
myImage: Image{text:'nothing', image:'~/Desktop/joy.png'}, alligment:['fill','top'],\
myButton: Button{text:'Ok'}, alligment:['fill','top'],\
},\
groupTwo: Group{orientation:'column',\
myStaticText: StaticText{text:'Пора играть в Diablo III - Даже AE тебе говорит епт'}, alligment:['fill','top'],\
mySlider: Slider{text:'slider', value:'50'}, alligment:['fill','top'],\
},\
}";
myPanel.grp = myPanel.add(res);
// размер окна
myPanel.layout.layout(true);
myPanel.grp.minimumSize = myPanel.grp.size;
//изменяемый размер панелей
myPanel.layout.resize();
myPanel.onResizing = myPanel.onResize = function(){this.layout.resize()};
return myPanel;
myButton.onClick = function(){
myComp = app.project.item(1);
mySolid = myComp.layers.addSolid([1.0,1.0,0], "my square", 50, 50, 1);
};
}
var myScriptPal = myScript_buildUI(thisObj);
if((myScriptPal != null) && (myScriptPal instanceof Window)){
myScriptPal.center();
myScriptPal.show();
}
}
myScript(this);
}
Thank you vladblindu Adobe definitely has it's quirks, and like all relationships in life there are plenty of ups and downs. The After Effects user base I have found to be the strongest, and most helpful group around. I am glad you have found my tutorial resources helpful, I still remember back in 2006 when I was struggling to make things happen in After Effects. I always said that if I ever figure this stuff out, I was gonna share with others going through the same struggle. Stick with it, and you will find that a lot of amazing things can be created with After Effects, even with it's hurdles. The scripting helps ease the pain a little, but it too has it's own quirks.
Hi David,
First of all thank you for the best tutorials you helped me a lot.
I only have one question is it possible to get your scripts? (that you write in tutorials), because I made way too many mistakes rewriting them and some of them some of them do not work.
