    Is it possible to call a *.jsx script from a shortcut that I will define in ‘Adobe After Effects 6.5 Shortcuts.txt’

    Is it possible to select another layer or layers from a script? How?

    Yes. Look for entries like this in your ~shortcuts.txt file:

    “ExecuteScriptMenuItem01” = “()”

    All scripts must be at the root level of the scripts folder to show up in the menu and the menu order will be used.

    Yes, it’s possible, but off the top of my head I don’t remember any part of the synatx.

    Thanks for the quick replay.

    Does anyone know which method I should execute to select a layer?
    I have searched the scripting guide.pdf, but with no result so far.
