i can see how to retrieve all items of a specific type, but i can't get the one i want because i can't seem to select it by name, which is pretty much the only thing way i can think of doing it.
as far as i can see, there's no such thing as app.project.item.name, meaning i can't do a for/while to find a compItem with matching name, and trying to retrieve
shadedComp.index
[given that shadedComp = myComp.layers.precompose(layerIndices, layerComp.name + " :: Shaded", false);]
doesn't work.
