How can I change the thisComp.layer(“layername”) by script ?
Now, I get the script like this and I want change the “layername” in thisComp.layer
original
———————————–
FACE[i].transform.position.expression = ‘b=thisComp.layer(“layername”).transform.scale;\
if(b>[0,100]){ \
value=value-((b-[100,100])/10) \
} \
———————————–
but I want to change like this
———————————–
FACE[i].transform.position.expression = ‘b=thisComp.layer(BEYER.name).transform.scale;\
if(b>[0,100]){ \
value=value-((b-[100,100])/10) \
} \
———————————–
but it didn’t work
I want to change the “layername” to object.name
How can I do that ?
thank you

You can give a try with the layer.index.
thisComp.layer(1).transform.scale;
I guess you defined :
layer.name=« toto »;
So use thisComp.layer(« toto »).property(« ADBE transform » ).property(«ADBE Scale »).setValue(1).
(I think it’s better to use the proper names in case you share your script to a non-English person.)
Anyway, reading your post, I just want to have a precision : do you try to catch layers inside a precomp ?
Cheers,

I had the variable BEYER for catch the layer that name “BLACK EYE R” and I want it show in expression by script Umm.. I didn’t want to write like this
FACE[i].transform.position.expression = ‘b=thisComp.layer(” BLACE EYE R”).transform.scale’
because I have the variable BEYER that collect this layer that make me want to write
FACE[i].transform.position.expression = ‘b=thisComp.layer(BEYER.name).transform.scale’
how can I do like this ?
thank you.

I assume you’re trying using a script to write an expression into a property?
Two things I see in this code snippet:
1. It looks like you’re trying to reference a variable inside a string, and expecting it to evaluate; it will not. You need to separate out the string’s pieces and the variable, and concatenate them.
2. You’re assigning that result to a variable that you’re not actually using or explicitly returning. This will work in this case, but in some cases it can result in an expression error.
If you have this:
FACE[i].transform.position.expression = 'b=thisComp.layer(BEYER.name).transform.scale';
You probably want this instead:
FACE[i].transform.position.expression = 'thisComp.layer("' + BEYER.name + '").transform.scale'; -
Oh, yes this is some thing that I want
thank you so much
