For example

 

var callName=["a","b"];

var mySelectedComps=app.project.activeItems.selectedLayers; //(eg.i have selected a,b,c comps in afx)

var newArray=[];


 

if(callName[]==mySelectedComps[].source.name){

newArray.push();

 

}

I'm essentially wanting to be able to capture the RGBA values under the mouse cursor when a user clicks an object on the canvas (I will be storing these for later use) . Just as you see these values in the info panel changing as you move your mouse around the canvas, I want to create an alert showing the current RGBA values when a user clicks on any pixel on the canvas. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

editText.active doesn't work

Hi

 

I have a editText and I would like to check if it is in focus. I do it like this:

 

if(textfield.active)

{

     //Do something

}

 

This doesn't work. It always returns false. Is there any other way to check if a textfield is currently in focus? With focus I mean, the textfield is marked with the cursor and user can input text into it.

 

While playing around with it I also noticed that this works:

 

textfield.active = true;

 

While this do not:

 

textfield.active = false;

 

... wierd.

Top/Left Value of Point Text Relative to Composition?

April 27, 2016, 5:38 am

So since the width and height of a point text layer is

 

--always the size of the composition

--calculateTransformFromPoints can only set and not read a set of values

-- a point text layer's sourceRectatTime top and left values (as well as baselineLoc values)  are relative, as far as I can tell, to its... anchor point? And

-- I can't rely on its anchor point since a) end users move the anchor point and b) we have other functions that periodically center the anchor point of every layer,

 

I was wondering if there were some other way to calculate the top and left values of a point text layer relative to the composition?

 

Do I have to draw a mask that is the full size of the layer and then derive the values from its vertices?

Hi

 

I have a check box. I would like to set up an eventListener for it.

 

This works:

 

cb.onClick = function()

{

     alert("clicked");

}

 

This don't:

 

cb.addEventListener("click", cbClick);

function cbClick()

{

     alert("clicked");

}

 

 

Why not? I have used the addEventListener method for many other components.

 

Thanks,

[Tutorial] After Effects ExtendScript Script Writing

April 20, 2013, 2:03 am
$
0

Hi all, just wanted to share a new tutorial series I have launched today that I think a lot of you may find helpful.

 

We've all posted here in this forum looking for help with scripting. There are many reasons why too. One of which that keeps making the rounds is the lack of documentation for ExtendScript. When I first started scripting for After Effects five years ago, the CS3 guide is all there was and it did contain the proper information, but as a newbie I was unable to understand the guide to get any real help from it. I didn't know Javascript then and I was super frustrated. Asking questions and searching forums like this was my only option really. No real training existed, that I'm aware of, that truly covered how to use ExtendScript. That is, until now. I have spent the better part of my weekends over the past year recording this training series to give the After Effects community a decent collection of information in one place to help get people started in scripting. This series comes in at over ten hours in length and is being released in segments on a weekly basis as of today. There is a lot to cover in ExtendScript and I do cover much of it. I'm unable to hit 100% of it as I too am still learning some of the more advanced aspects of it. I do cover however the basics of Javascript, looping through project items, creating folders, creating comps, creating layers, reading various project information, building GUI's, creating/reading txt documents, etc...

 

If you are a newbie looking to learn ExtendScript, a frustrated artist who's confused by programming, a script developer looking for more info, then at one point or another I believe this series will help you.

 

The first three episodes begin here:

http://provideocoalition.com/news/video/after-effects-extendscript-training-ep-1-2-3

 

Keep an eye out for more posts each week. thanks, and I hope you find this resource useful.
