My first Script UI has a bug and its making me crazy
Hello guys, i’ve just created an script UI and its working fine but every time i close After Effects and open it again the script stops working, it became like a shell, buttons without any functionality, and i only got 2 options to make it work again, 1: close the script and open it again. 2: change the working space to any other and go back to my working space where i have the script. Is this something related to the code of my script? or is a bug of After Effects?
This is the main structure of my script, is anything wrong?
{ function myScript(thisObj){ function myScript_buildUI(thisObj){
var myPanel = (thisObj instanceof Panel) ? thisObj : new Window("palette", "MyScriptName", undefined, {resizeable: true, closeButton:true});
// Here goes the main function of the script //
myPanel.layout.layout(true);
return myPanel;
}
var myScriptPal = myScript_buildUI(thisObj);
if(myScriptPal != null && myScriptPal instanceof Window){
myScriptPal.center();
myScriptPal.show();
}
}
myScript(this);
}

Maybe try to make it self invoking, like this
(function myScript(thisObj) {
function myScript_buildUI(thisObj) {
var myPanel = thisObj instanceof Panel ? thisObj : new Window("palette", "MyScriptName", undefined, { resizeable: true, closeButton: true });
// Here goes the main function of the script //
myPanel.layout.layout(true);
return myPanel;
}
var myScriptPal = myScript_buildUI(thisObj);
if (myScriptPal != null && myScriptPal instanceof Window) {
myScriptPal.center();
myScriptPal.show();
}
})(this);
I am not sure this will work. However, I have some advice for you. Use this webpage to make the UI. It’s by far the best and easiest way to create UI for After Effects
ScriptUI Dialog Builder (joonas.me)

Thanks for your reply Andrei, unfortunately my script keeps having the same bug, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to rebuild everything from scratch but I’ll take a look at that ScriptUI Dialog Builder, thank you!!
