AE Scripting question – multiple activeItem’s
I’m working on a script that takes the selected compositions and queues them, with a custom naming convention, multiple output modules, etc.
I have the script basically doing all I want it to, but am not sure how to run it when the user selects multiple compositions. In other words I built the script around “app.project.activeItem” and it works great, but what the heck do I do if the user has multiple items selected in the project?
Any help is really appreciated! Sorting these questions out in the AE Scripting Reference isn’t as easy as I thought it would be…

app.project.selection gives you an array of all the selected items. You can loop through the array and process each comp (you probably want to make sure each selected item is a CompItem).

Aha, just what I was looking for! Thanks Dan, I won’t have time to get to it today but I’m sure that’ll do just the trick!
My scripting adventure continues…
