Does anyone have any code that will fetch the full path filename of a layer?

I can't seem to find any way. I'm on CS3.

theLayer.source.name

on the subject.. anyone know how to get the full OS name of a sequence? ie if I import a sequence:

fileA_001.png
fileA_002.png
fileA_003.png

In AE I get:

fileA_[001-003].png

but sometimes if the file name is too long to fit i will get this:

fileA_[].png


Is there a way to get scripting to get me this:

fileA_001.png

theItem.file.name

Merci.

Thats just the name of the layer, I need the fullpath file name to the footage of the layer.

theLayer.source.file
theLayer.source.file.path
theLayer.source.file.absoluteURI

All the file related stuff is in the JavaScript Tools Guide

Thanks Paul,

I could not find that info in the CS3 PDF Scripting Guide I was working from.

Is there any way to repair the URI information returned to make a working path?

I get a value like this:

/e/My%20Documents/Maps/Animated/Cloud%20Tours/CF106.mov

This does not work on Windows. Is there a convert URI to working path function?

REVISION:
I did manage to get a working conversion from URI to Windows DOS path, but I doubt if this will work for OSX.

// Convert to Windows style file pathing.
G.LAYER_FILENAME = G.LAYER_FILENAME.replace(/%20/g," ");
G.LAYER_FILENAME = G.LAYER_FILENAME.replace(/\//,"");
G.LAYER_FILENAME = G.LAYER_FILENAME.replace(/\//,":\\");
G.LAYER_FILENAME = G.LAYER_FILENAME.replace(/\//g,"\\");
