Hello AENHANCERS!
My name is Peiter, im an After Effects fanatic and new to scripting.
My question is about compositions in my project library. If I have two comps, am I able to add one in the other?
My ultimate goal is to have a COMP.A populated with 2 instances of COMP.B.
Any help or links to past conversations would be awesome.

This isn't optimal, but it should give you the idea:
Dan
Code: Select all
var compA = compB = null;
for (var i = 1; i <= app.project.numItems; i++){
if (app.project.item(i) instanceof CompItem){
if (app.project.item(i).name == "COMP.A")
compA = app.project.item(i)
else if (app.project.item(i).name == "COMP.B")
compB = app.project.item(i);
}
}
if (compA != null && compB != null){
compA.layers.add(compB);
compA.layers.add(compB);
}else
alert("Can't find both comps.");
