Layer info text layer listing effects?
Hi I am putting together a little layer info text layer that displays data from the layer above it. I would like to add all the effects used on the layer to the displayed data.
Here is what I have so far (just for opacity and scale)://start
thisComp.layer(index – 1).name +
“\rOpacity = ” + thisComp.layer(index – 1).opacity.value +
“\rScaleX = ” + thisComp.layer(index – 1).scale[0] +
“\rScaleY = ” + thisComp.layer(index – 1).scale[1]
//endbut how do I add a list of effects? I guess I first need to count the effects and then list them but I can’t find any expression syntax that will do that.
Thanks

This seems to work:
s = “”;
i = 1;
while (true){
try{
s += thisComp.layer(index-1).effect(i).name;
}catch (err){
break;
}
i++;
s += “\\r”;
}
