[solved] Add Fill Color to Text Animator

I'm trying to add a Fill Color property to the Text Animator, but every my try fails...
Here are some code:
==
var comp = app.project.activeItem;
var layers = comp.layers;
var text = layers.byName ("bla bla bla"); // it's a text layer
var text_animator = text.property ("Text").property ("Animators").property ("Animator 1");
var fill_color = text_animator.property ("Properties").addProperty ("Fill Color");
===
"Animator 1" is created by me, and already exists.
The error message: "Cannot add property Fill Color to this PropertyGroup".
It seams, that property "Fill Color" is already exists. But when I'm trying to setValue of this property it fails with error: "The property is hidden".
Thank you.

It works if I change the last line to:
var fill_color = text_animator.property("Properties").addProperty("ADBE Text Fill Color");

Changing value of Text Animator/ Fill Color

I am trying to use your code to change the value of the fill color animator that already exists instead of adding a fill color animator. The script runs without any errors but doesn't change the color.
Code: Select all
//Set color for firstName_____________________________________________________________________________________
var redValue = 100;
var greenValue= 100;
var blueValue= 100;
var redDecimal = (redValue/2.55)/100;
var greenDecimal = (greenValue/2.55)/100;
var blueDecimal = (blueValue/2.55)/100;
var textAnimator = firstNameLayer.property("Text").property("Animators").property("Animator 1").property.fillColor;
var colorFirstName = [redDecimal, greenDecimal, blueDecimal, 1];
//_____________________________________________________________________________________
Do I need some sort of setValue syntax?

I've changed the code to this and still no luck...
Code: Select all
//Set color for firstName_____________________________________________________________________________________
var redValue = 100;
var greenValue= 100;
var blueValue= 100;
var redDecimal = (redValue/2.55)/100;
var greenDecimal = (greenValue/2.55)/100;
var blueDecimal = (blueValue/2.55)/100;
var textAnimator = firstNameLayer.property("Text").property("Animator").property("Animator 1").property("Fill Color").setValue([redDecimal, greenDecimal, blueDecimal, 1]);
//_____________________________________________________________________________________

Try this:
Code: Select all
var textAnimator = firstNameLayer.property("Text").property("Animators").property("Animator 1").property("Properties").property("Fill Color");
textAnimator.setValue([redDecimal, greenDecimal, blueDecimal, 1]);
