  Expression Parent of Dynamically Changing Comp

  Posted by Henry Gaunt on June 1, 2016 at 10:07 pm

  Hello.

  Long story short.

  In COMP1 I have a null which dynamically centres depending on the width of 6 text layers in COMP2 via an expression.

  I have a script that automatically imports the text strings for the 6 layers from excel, it duplicates comp for 1 & 2 for each line entry.

  So Comp 2, contains Comp 3. Comp4 contains Comp 5 etc…

  How do I adjust the expression in COMP1 var w1= comp(“COMP2”).layer(“EFFORT”).sourceRectAtTime().width;

  To look at the comp directly below it, rather than a set comp name which fails to update to the new comp during duplication?

  Thank you
