Dynamic layer targeting
Hello all!
Quick question for you guys, I am messing about with an expression…and I want to do something along the lines of the following:
thisComp.layer(“layer[index+1]”).transform.position;
Meaning that I want to be able to target the layer that is below the layer with the expression…how do I do this and is this even possible?
It will make things easier for me as I can just duplicate pairs of layers and have it position itself for me…
Thanks
Ross

and are you saying that code isnt working?..if so try this…
thisComp.layer(index+1).transform.position.
in your ” layer(” “) ” you were telling AE to look for a layer named “layer[index+1]”, instead of telling it to look at the actual index.

I just stumbled on this and thought I would update and correct it. The syntax for the above is incorrect in both posts. It should be
thisComp.layer(index+1).position;
