Hi everyone!

Does anyone know if it is possible to access, add or open another script/plugin through a button (I make my own toolbar)?

This is because I bought a very useful script on http://aescripts.com/, called Un-PreCompose from Batch Frame Software (http://aescripts.com/un-precompose/). My idea now is to create a button where I can access this script / plugin through simply clicking a GUI button. This because I then don't have to go up to Layer -> Un-PreCompose everytime I gonna use it (it's often!).

The file is a .aex file and the script/plugin lie under layer in the AE Menu.
Un-PreCompose is also installed under the support files -> plugins folder

I have already tried the function from page 52 in the JavaScript Tools Guide pdf:

execute ()

fileObj.execute ()

However it has not worked yet.
Does anyone know how I can do this?
