Find out which language AE is running in expressions?

[Dan Ebberts]

I can’t think of any way to do that.

Lloyd,
give this one a try:

$.locale


I just tried it out on my machine, and it returned the string “en_US”.

That’s very cool. I had no idea that the $ object was accessible to expressions. What’s even more exciting is that the reflect object also appears to be accessible. Time for some experiments….

After messing around with the $ object, and some of the reflection stuff, I came across something pretty cool. Go into your AE Prefs file and set “EnableExpressionsDebuggingAtYourOwnRisk”, to “1” (meaning true)

Then, go into AE and create an expression and place the command $.bp() into an expression. This creates a breakpoint. Now, when the expression executes, you can debug it using the ESTK. I thought this was pretty cool. I also found out some other cool stuff using the $ object, hopefully Ill have time soon to write some stuff up about it and post it online.
