Not sure if you guys ever figured this one out, but here is some slightly more info... -The function requires 5 total parameters -The first three parameters must be a File or Folder object -The last two parameters must be numbers This would hard crash AE: alert(_compareImagesAndGenerateResultForAuto...

Is there a way to check if a specific template is applied to Render Settings in the queue? Sadly, no. I'm dealing with this issue right now myself. I've already put in my feature request for it too. https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform Or is there a way to see if "Skip ...

Sounds like a straight up bug. I've had it where if the panel is floating(not docked in the UI) and you toggle down a dropdownlist, then try to resize the panel window without selecting an item from the dropdown, it will lock up the script. Feel free to send an Adobe bug report/feature request like ...

I just posted my solution for the Extendscript vs. AE error you had at : http://www.aenhancers.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1787 Here's the code again though: { var res = "dialog\ myListbox: ListBox { alignment:['fill','fill'], properties:{\ multiselect:true, \ numberOfColumns:5, \ showHeaders:t...

Your code works in Extended Script but gives me and error when I try and run it in AE. I ran into the same thing last weekend. I had forgotten about this post, thanks for the reminder. Here is what I found worked in AE for me. { var res = "dialog\ myListbox: ListBox { alignment:['fill','fill']...

I figured as much, but thought I'd ask. :) I was able to query the first line of text when I was testing a few days ago and I was seeing that only the first line of text was accessible via scripts. I had made a single text layer with three lines of text, each line a different font and I was able to ...

Hey Paul, I just started venturing into a font search script that works right now, but I ran across a hiccup and during my search for an answer, found this thread. I noticed a few post ago in this thread someone was trying to set multiple fonts within one text layer and you have answered that it isn...

Below is a list of Matchnames for plugins for After Effects CS5. It is not 100% complete (roughly just under 1200 effects at the moment), but it does contain all of the stock AE plugins plus many third party plugins. Can be handy for AE scripters or expression coders. The list should be in alphabeti...

If I add a new window via this code, it shows up fine. //"undefined" would be the window size. undefined=auto size and [0,0,200,300] would be specific pixel size 200 width x 300 height; var pal = new Window("palette", "LIST", undefined); var list = pal.add ("ListBo...

Got an answer back from Adobe Bug Reports just now on this issue.

This is a known limitation of ScriptUI having a Flex (i.e., Flash)-based UI in CS5 -- contents can't overlap the edges of the "stage". Agreed that this is not pretty.

I have come across better universal compatibility with "\r" instead of "\n". I use them both, but if I need PC and Mac versions in one, I'll go with "\r" most times.

Did a test a moment ago and it worked perfectly. You just saved me half the code writing adamghering. Thanks! :) Side note: And THIS is why I keep harping on Adobe to get a complete scripting guide together. Let's skip the political BS and get something together that the AE community can actually us...

You're welcome, and thank you too. I wasn't aware of "a" or "e" options I've been looping through reading in contents to arrays, doing the replace "," with "\r" and then adding that to the head of my new contents. I've got some experimenting to do now. :) If t...

Thanks Paul, I will look into that one and see if it helps.
