Hi all,
is it possible to access a layer in a nested comp and then read its position data in relation to the main comp? I need to gather something like a toComp value, which I won't get if I just address the nested comp by itself, without reference to the main comp. I'd be more than glad if I could skip motion-tracking a layer that I animated myself.
Thanks,
Thomas

It's going to look something like this:
L = comp("your nested comp name").layer("your layer name");
thisComp.layer("your nested comp name").toComp(L.toComp(L.anchorPoint));
Dan
L = comp("your nested comp name").layer("your layer name");
thisComp.layer("your nested comp name").toComp(L.toComp(L.anchorPoint));

Hey Dan!
THX for the super quick answer! I tried something similar to this, but it wouldn't work. And my workaround wasn't the best one in the world either.
By the way, I'm almost done with that IK/puppet tool project I contacted you about (I just changed my last name in order to confuse people
). Coming along great!
Cheers,
Thomas
