Hey.
You can check for numKeys property to determine if a layer has any markers applied.

ExtendScript is based on super old ECMA version 3.something. So to imitate a Class, you'd need to use the old way, like this:
function Person(name, surname){
this.name = name;
this.surname = surname;
}
var person = new Person('Jack', 'Smith');
alert(person);

Here's a clean way to do that. Change targetLayer by pickwipping a layer you want to read the name from:
var targetLayer = thisLayer;
var namesArray = targetLayer.name.split(',');
var firstName = namesArray[1];
var lastName = namesArray[0];
firstName + ' ' + lastName;

You can use RegExp to get the word count:

There are many ways to skin a cat in Javascript. One of which is this:
var value1 = comp("kj v1").layer("controller").effect("kac tl")("Menu").value;
var value2 = comp("kj v1").layer("controller").effect("kacinci soru")("Menu").value;
var result = (value1 && value2) * 100;
result;
The logic behind (value1 && value2) * 100 is as follows;
(value1 && value2) is a boolean operator: if both values are true, then this would result in true. If any of the values are false, then the result will also be false.
Taking boolean result from #1 we get (true) * 100, or (false) * 100. When multiplying Boolean with a value, the Boolean is converted into an integer (1 for true, and 0 for false), so we end up with 1 * 100, or 0 * 100;
Therefore, if both values are true, the result is 100; if any of those values is false, then we get 0.
Not saying you have to use such logic, as it might look unfamiliar and weird for beginners but just letting you know that such a thing exists. The more you know, the less you know.

Yes, apparently New World will complain about _anything_ that's passed into alert() method if the argument is not of a String type. So alert(something.toString()) should work in theory, although it's far from being ideal when you need to alert() an array. For that, you would need to use alert(array.toSource()), unfortunately.
And this is truly sad that you have to convert your arguments into strings to use them in an alert() method, as this is something you do not have to do in Javascript world.

Ok, what about this scenario:
1. Get the source file of you CSV item by using app.project.item(index).file: http://docs.aenhancers.com/items/footageitem/#footageitem-file
2. Parse the CSV data with ExtendScript,
3. Done.

I'm not sure if this is doable.
One workaround for this is to:
- dump footage item into a composition,
- read value as you were doing in your first example,
- remove the CSV layer.

You need to use `source` property on a layer to get its item: http://docs.aenhancers.com/layers/avlayer/#avlayer-source

That's not possible out of the box.
You'd need to save your comps as individual projects first, by using Save Comp as Project https://aescripts.com/save-comp-as-project/ or by converting each composition into an executable JSX code with compCode https://aescripts.com/compcode
Cheers.

Unfortunately, not.
The `characters` parameter simply sets the horizontal size of the EditText element but does not limit the string length inside it.
Your best bet here would be to use `onChanging` attribute to trim exceeding characters.

First, you check if the file exists. If it does, modify a name and save it again. Something like that.
(function() {
try {
var contents = 'Lorem ipsum';
var pathToFile = '~/Desktop/test.js';
var file = new File(pathToFile);
if (!file.exists) {
writeFile(file, contents);
} else {
var fileName = getFileName(file);
var date = new Date();
var extensions = getExtension(file);
file = new File(file.parent.fsName + '/' + fileName + ' ' + date.toString() + '.' + extensions);
writeFile(file, contents);
}
} catch (e) {
alert(e.toString() + '\nScript File: ' + File.decode(e.fileName).replace(/^.*[\|\/]/, '') +
'\nFunction: ' + arguments.callee.name +
'\nError on Line: ' + e.line.toString());
}
function getFileName(file) {
return file.name.split('.').slice(0, -1).join('.');
}
function getExtension(file) {
return file.name.split('.').pop();
}
function writeFile(file, contents, encoding, openMode) {
var success;
file = (file instanceof File) ? file : new File(file);
encoding = encoding || 'UTF-8';
openMode = openMode || 'w'; // 'a', 'e', 'r', 'w';
file.encoding = encoding;
file.open(openMode);
success = file.write(contents);
file.close();
if (!success) {
throw new Error('Unable to write file ' + file.fsName);
}
return file;
}
})();

If anyone is still looking for methods to get layers coordinates via ExtendScript, look no further - I've reverse engineered toWorld() and toComp() methods and created a separate class for it https://github.com/rendertom/LST

There's a perfectly logical way to catch modifier keys by checking ScriptUI.environment.keyboardState: http://estk.aenhancers.com/4%20-%20User-Interface%20Tools/event-handling.html?highlight=keyboardstate#keyboard-state-object
Here's the gist of it:
button.onClick = function() {
var keyboardState = ScriptUI.environment.keyboardState;
if (keyboardState.shift) {
alert('shift');
}
// etc
};

No, JSON is not natively included in ExtendScript.
What we, script developers usually do, is use this library: https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js?
Simply download this file, and the use #include 'path/to/json2.js' in your main script to use JSON features.

Long story short: when you rebuild the UI on `bunMain.onClick()` event, the reference to `butOne`, `butTwo` and `butMain` are gone. That's why, when you click on those buttons nothing happens since no action is being assigned to them after panel recreation.

What is it you are trying to achieve with this code? It's not quite clear.
In case you need to select list box items and remove then from the list along with compositions from project panel, here's a working snippet
button1.onClick = function Search() {
listbox1.removeAll();
for (var i = 1; i <= app.project.numItems; i++) {
var projectItem = app.project.item(i);
if (projectItem instanceof CompItem) {
var listboxItem = listbox1.add("item", projectItem.name);
listboxItem.id = projectItem.id;
}
}
};
button2.onClick = function deletecomps() {
for (var i = listbox1.selection.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
var listboxItem = listbox1.selection[i];
var composition = app.project.itemByID(listboxItem.id);
if (composition) {
listboxItem.parent.remove(listboxItem);
composition.remove();
}
}
};

Your if statement is broken. You need to use double or triple quotes:
