  Var shapeGroup = shapeLayer.property(“Contents”).addProperty(“ABDE Vector Group”);

  Var num=5;

  Var s=200.0;

  For(var i = num; i<=num; i++)

  .{

  CreateEllipse(shapeGroup, 100);

  ;

  .}

  Function CreateEllipse(shapeGroup, size)

  {

  Var ellipse=shapeGroup.Property(“Contents”).addPropertt(“ABDE Vector Shape – Ellipse”);

  Var ellipseSize=ellipse.property(“size”).setValue([size, size]);

  Var myProperty = shapeLayer.position;

  MyProperty.setValue ([s, 450,0]);

  S=s+200.0

  }

  I’m using this code to create 5 shapes in one layer using loop. But it is creating only one shape in the shape layer… Can anybody help me that why is it heppening?

  Hi

  Your expression

  For(var i = num; i<=num; i++)

  Is starting its count at 5 so it can’t loop any more.

  You should have

  For(var i = 0; i<=num; i++)
