Re: My first AE Script.Plz review and help with calc and not

This script can be simplified a bit, in particular in the loop, which will speed it up Firstly you don't need to treat 3D and 2D layers differently—2D layers have a Z coordinate, it's just always set to 0. So you can use the 3D code for both. you don't need to calculate the average with each layer...

JS Array slice method

I was going nuts trying to work out why a script wasn't working. I was using the Javascript array object's slice method: selectedLayers = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers; layerSlice=selectedLayers.slice(a, b); But it was returning undefined.

Re: spell check for after effects

Fantastic script. For any DLFers or other antipodeans here's an Australian wordlist. You can use the build dictionary script that comes along with the spell checker to make an Australian dictionary. Go sick mate!
