Getting parented null's position values ?

[serhatedip]

hi,

i need to get the position values of the null which i attached to a layer to use them to drive knoll light's location x,y.
null is attached on a non moving layer but there is a camera zooming out the scene.
i am adding a sample project file to make it clear.

thanks in advance

I didn't look at your project file, but the expression will look like this:

N = thisComp.layer("Null 1");
N.toComp(N.anchorPoint)

thnx, i tried but it dosent give me the coordinates of the null according to the comp window
the thing is my null is 3d but i need 2d x,y coordinates from it somehow

I just tried it on your project and it worked for me. Make sure you're applying the expression to a 2D layer. For example, apply it to the Position property of a 2D layer, or the Lens Flare position of an effect applied to an adjustment layer.
