link the position of a layer to a different comp layer..
thisComp.layer("point control").effect("Point Control")("Point")How do I link the position of a layer in one comp to the position of another layer in a different comp?
currently I have this, which works fine since the layer is in the same comp…:
thisComp.layer(“point control”).effect(“Point Control”)(“Point”)
this just links the position to a point control layer I have. what i want to do is put the point control in a seperate comp so I can have different layers in various comps linking to the same point control layer..
I know this is probably a stupid question, hehehe, but I am learning!
thanks in advance!

instead of starting the script with “thisComp”, try starting it with “comp(“name of comp”)”

Hello,
is there a way to to not use a comp name but just reference to the previous comp (the parent in relative path).I read referencing to parent is not possible, but is it possible just saying like “one comp above this comp”? (Would be handy in case i rename my “parent comp”).

With this code you link layername to layername2 in the same comp
app.project.item(1).layer("layername").parent = app.project.item(1).layer("layername2");not work for one comp to other comp’s layer to link 😉
app.project.item(1).layer("first_comp_a_layer").parent = app.project.item(2).layer("second_comp_a_layer");
