  another layer marker / expressions question

  Posted by Sam Young on June 8, 2006 at 3:19 am

  is there a way, using expressions, to count the number of markers on a layer? if so, would it be possible to call on the “index” value of a marker on a layer much in the same way you can call on the index (stacking order) of a layer in a comp?

  Yes, you could do that. Not sure off the top of my head, but there should be a thisLayer.numMarkers method which would give you exactly what you need.

  You get the number of markers this way:

  layer.marker.numKeys

  (or just marker.numKeys if the expression is applied to the layer with the markers)

  You’d use the marker index this way:

  n = 5;
  t = layer.marker.key(n).time;
