How can one get the selected property of a layer/effect, etc? I've tried doing a search but the search tool restrictions keep saying that I'm using words that are too common.

Both the CompItem and Layer object have a selectedProperties attribute which returns an array of the selected properties. For example, to access the first selected property on a layer: If you don't already have it you should download the AE CS6 scripting guide pdf as it covers all this stuff.

An effect doesn't have a selectedProperties attribute but you can loop through the effect's properties to see if property.selected == true, although they'll also be listed in the comp/layer selectedProperties array.

Thanks Paul.
