  EXTENDSCRIPT loop in property layer

  Posted by Rainier Raydán on May 31, 2017 at 12:21 am

  Hi!

  I’m trying to do a loop into the property of solids layers to find an effect by it’s name (let’s suppouse it is Transform effect). How can I write it?

  I have this:
  
var proj = app.project;
var curLayer = proj.item(1).layer(1);

  for(var i=1;i<=curLayer.effect.length;i++){
var curEffect = curLayer.effect(i);
alert(curEffect.name);
}

  I think I got it!

  I did a for loop inside the layer in the effect property like this:
  
var proj, curItem, fxLength;
proj = app.project;
curItem = proj.item(1);
curLayer = curItem.layer(1);
fxLength = curLayer.effect.numProperties;

  for(var i=1;i<=fxLength;i++){
var curFx = curLayer.effect(i);
alert(curFx.name);
}


  with this I know my loop works!
