applyPreset() On Windows

[Jorritschulte]

Why does the 'applyPreset() Part' not work:

Code: Select all

var Proj = app.project;
var Comp = Proj.activeItem;

var Controller = Comp.layers.addSolid([255,0,0], "Controller", 100, 100, 1);

Controller.applyPreset("D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS3\Support Files\Presets\Behaviors\Drift Over Time.ffx");

The error is:
After Effects error: Unable to call "applypreset' because of parameter 1/ D...rt FilesPresetsBehaviorsDrift Over Time.ffc is not a File or Folder object

But The file is There...


Thanksin advance

Try it this way:

Code: Select all

var presetPath = ("D:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe After Effects CS3/Support Files/Presets/Behaviors/Drift Over Time.ffx");
var myPreset = File(presetPath);
Controller.applyPreset(myPreset);
