After Effects scripting is "regular" javascript. They are only different in the extended methods. All the base Javascript is exactly the same, i think you are misunderstanding strings and arrays.

It turns out that the indexOf method works fine with strings, but it fails when used with arrays, as opposed to regular javascript, which supports either. IndexOf is a string function and doesn't work with arrays anywhere. To get an item in an array by index you simply do this: myArray[3]; //gets t...

You have to figure it out on your own. There is no api hook to do it for you unfortunately. However it's pretty simple, right? If you know the first file and you know they are sequential and you know the frame range then you can figure out what the filename is for any of the files in the sequence. -...

Yes, I am saying there is no way to directly call it by name but looping is very fast so it should not be a big deal. And it doesn't matter that each machine is different since you would loop everytime to get the name.
