I'm long past the point where I can tolerate the bugs of adobe products. This is no longer an issue as I have switched over to more robust programs. Even if this has been addressed in the most recent versions of Ae and Ps, Projection mapping in Adobe programs is a joke ... View more

I think I figured it out. The code was waaay off. Probably should implement Mylenium's suggestion but here's the code: For the Start value:     var segmentId = thisProperty.propertyGroup(3).propertyIndex; var numberOfSegments = thisLayer("Contents").numProperties;   var startPercentage = 0;   // sum the lengths below this segment if( numberOfSegments > 1 ){  for(var i = segmentId + 1; i <= numberOfSegments; i++) { startPercentage += thisLayer("Contents")(i).content("Trim Paths 1").end - thisLayer("Contents")(i).content("Trim Paths 1").start; } }   startPercentage;       For the End value:     var segmentId = thisProperty.propertyGroup(3).propertyIndex; var numberOfSegments = thisLayer("Contents").numProperties;   var previousSegmentEnd = 0;   if( segmentId + 1 <= numberOfSegments) { previousSegmentEnd = thisLayer("Contents")(segmentId + 1).content("Trim Paths 1").end; }     previousSegmentEnd + 10;   ...

Long and short: No. You need to think of another technique to create your strokes. Why not simply create them using the | character right away and then scale them horizoantlly with your animators to add thickness? Similalrly, you could use the █ character and invert the scale. Once that's done you can still round off your stuff with MiniMax and blurs...   Mylenium ... View more

Ok, that makes sense. The focus must shift somewhere else and it causes the crash. I can understand why you'd avoid using it. Thanks again! ... View more

Thanks for the quick reply. I was afraid that it would be impossible to do. I'll have to figure it out some other way, or just add a simple button to update the dropdown.   However, I was reading the documentation and about registering new event handlers for the window object and came up with this:   var newWindow = new Window("palette", "", undefined); newWindow.addEventListener("mouseover", myFunction );   function myFunction() { alert("mouseover the window"); updateDropdown(); }   That event fires every time the mouse enters the window. If the mouse has been on the AE menu pressing Undo then it must have left the script window and re-enter to interact with the script. No idea how terrible idea this is...  ... View more
