rd: Script Launcher as a DropDownList - Help

I really like Jeff's "rd: Script Launcher" script for quick access to some of my more random scripts I've downloaded and made. However I'm wanting to go in a different direction based off of the code. Instead of using a UI listbox option in the res Group, I changed it to a UI DropDownList ...

Re: Font search

I can't wait until my AE CS4 upgrade gets here so I can try that new font scripting stuff out! That would be really handy at my job.

Re: ScriptUI DropDownList and onChange

Here is a snippet of my code on how I got it to work for one of my DropDownList scripts: pal.grp = pal.add(res); pal.layout.layout(true); pal.grp.minimumSize = pal.grp.size; pal.layout.resize(); pal.onResizing = pal.onResize = function () {this.layout.resize();} pal.grp.header.help.onClick = functio...

Open composition in the timeline via scripting?

Is there a way to open a composition into an empty timeline via scripting without manually double-clicking the composition in the project window in After Effects? My current script below does everything I need it to do in the "Begin Create Faux Logo Comp" section. But won't execute the &qu...

There is an example script in the ScriptUI section of the Bridge Javascript PDF for creating dynamic content (page 81 & 82), it's as follows: res = "dialog { \ whichInfo: DropDownList { alignment:'left' }, \ allGroups: Panel { orientation:'stack', \ info: Group { orientation: 'column', \ na...

Re: app.executeCommand(...) List - work in progress (for CS3)

I just tried the alert(app.findMenuCommandId("Save frame as...")); and it gave me 0 (zero) as the resultant in the alert. Sounds like the same problem as I have above with the "Quicktime Movie..." command. Some commands I guess just aren't directly accessible in scripting current...
