How to refer to the comp element is nested in
Hello everybody,
I would like to write an expression for the stroke thinkness of a ShapeLayer.
The thickness should be given by a slider of an AdjustmentLayer in the MainComp.
I cannot use the expression comp(“MainComp”), because there will be different copies of the MainComp and each one will have a different name. Each copy will have a different stroke thickness.Here the scenario:
MainComp
– AdjustmentLayer
– PreComp
— ShapeLayerSo the ShapeLayer is inside of a PreComp. The adjustment layer is inside the MainComp, together with the PreComp.
Is the some kind of expression that I can use. Instead of “thisComp” somthing like “jumpOutsideThisComp” 🙂
Thanks a lot for the help.

The “comp” object has no method that returns where the composition is placed at. Since it can be inside more than one other composition.
But anyway if
[Andreas Woelfl] “there will be different copies of the MainComp and each one will have a different name.”
why don’t you reference them by name?
I really don’t get it.
