Change position of one composition layer inside a composition

[Vaibhav Vohra]

I have just started learning extendscript to create scripts for after effects.

i want to know if i have created a composition “A” and added 3 compositions in it “E” “F” “G”
and now i want to change the position of “F” composition only.
So is there a way i can do that with the name of the layer?
from index i know it will be done, but from the name of the composition is it possible?

If composition F is already in composition A, and composition A is open, you can use this:

app.project.activeItem.layer("F").position.setValue([100,100])

Thanks Andrei Popa.
Yes composition “F” is already in composition “A” but it is not open.

Just replace app.project.activeItem with the variable that holds the composition A.
