    Change Name of Comp using Text Source

    Posted by Richie Henson on February 9, 2017 at 1:49 am

    I can change the text of a layer in a comp by changing the name of the comp by using ‘thisComp.name’, but I would like the opposite to happen. Is there an expression to change the name of the comp when I change the text of a layer within that comp?
