transform text value in object

[alfredl20605198]

Hi everyone !

Here is a trickie one : I made a script to get the keys property by property in a layer. If I enter a full property name by hand like this

myProp = app.project.item(55).layer("titre").property("Transform").property("Position");
alert(myProp.numKeys);

It gives me the number of keys on my property... But, if I get the exact same property path by another way (text file, script...) it doesn't work anymore.

myProp = myTextFileDataArray; //the exact property path is entered in the text file
alert(myProp[0].numKeys);

Returns "undefined".

My program has to scan all the layers and properties in a comp, so I need to have a myProp value dynamically.

Hope my ask is clear 😕

Hello Alfred,

From your code I guess you misplaced the question - there is not (yet) a "project" object in FrameMaker, nor does there seem to be a "layer" and a "transform". My guess is this question should be posted to an Illustrator or InDesign scripting forum.

Good luck

Jang

Indeed, I don't know why I'm here... I was suppose to post it in After Effects discussion...

Thank you
