Re: IndexOf problem

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.

Re: IndexOf problem

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...

Re: Adding an effect to a set position

Use the moveTo() method: PropertyBase moveTo() method app.project.item(index).layer(index).propertySpec.moveTo(newIndex) Description Moves this property to a new position in its parent property group. This method is valid only for children of indexed groups; if it is not, or if the index value is no...

Re: Add a Point Light to each Selected Layers postition

NAB wrote a pretty clever script to add lights to selected layers. The cleverness is how it gets around the lack of light control in the scripting api: http://www.motionboutique.tv/en/researc ... -designers

Re: FootageItem (Sequence): how to get pointers to all the f

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?
