expression to determine topmost visible layer ?
hi people
would anybody know how to access the index value of the topmost visible layer in a comp…?
I have a bunch of sequenced layers in a comp all at different positions and I want a single text layer to ‘read out’ the y val of the visible layer at that time. I’m currently using workarounds with parented nulls etc but this is still tedious. Is there any way to workout which is the top most layer that is visible at any point in a comp ?cheers, daniel

Try this one”
txt = “”;
for (i = 1; i <= thisComp.numLayers; i++){ if (i == index) continue; L = thisComp.layer(i); if (! (L.hasVideo && L.active)) continue; if (time >= L.inPoint && time < L.outPoint){ txt = "" + L.position[1]; break; } } txt Dan
