  Accessing Z-Position inside Effect via Scripting

  Posted by Geoff Rights on May 6, 2016 at 2:15 pm

  Hey all,

  I have access to my card dance effect by calling:

  hdLayer = my indexed layer

  var myeffect = hdLayer.property(“Effects”).addProperty(“Card Dance”);
  myeffect(“Rows”).setValue(myInfo[2]);
  myeffect(“Columns”).setValue(myInfo[1]);
  myeffect(“Gradient Layer 1”).setValue(2);

  I was able to access each of those values correctly; unfortunately I cannot access “sub properties?”.

  I am now trying to access the source, offset, multiplier values inside the the Z-Position (category?, property?) of the effect but it’s returning an error.

  I have attempted:

  myeffect(“Z Position”)(“Offset”)
  myeffect(“Z Position”).property(“Offset”)
  myeffect.property(“Z Position”)(“Offset”)
  myeffect.property(“Z Position”).property(“Offset”)

  Any help would be great, thanks!
