  • Link to external documents expression no longer working

    Posted by David Cabestany on December 13, 2013 at 10:30 pm

    I’m trying this expression, that I have used successfully in the past and today is no longer working, instead spitting out a really strange error:

    Can’t appear on the left hand side of an assignment because it’s read-only

    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    if ($.os.indexOf("Mac") != -1)
    myPath = "/Volumes/Macintosh HD 2/Dropbox/VAPOR POST_DB/NMUSA/FOR DAVID/Expressions/";
    else
    myPath = "file://c:Expressions";
    myPath += "timelineEvents.txt";
    $.evalFile (myPath);
    eval(thisComp.name)[0];
