Do you have to close and reopen the comp? Or just deselect and select it in the project panel?

I can't see any function to close a comp, but if you have to close it, you could try creating a new comp, open it, with comp.openInViewer(), then opening the comp you have changed in the same way. This will hopefully make the composition viewer panel to update.]

If you just need to deselect and select in the project panel, you can use

Code: Select all

comp.selected = false
comp.selected = true

Hope this helps, haven't tried this so don't know if it works

@runegan : you can close a comp this way:

comp.openInViewer();
app.executeCommand(4); // 4 is "Close"
