Number of effects on a layer
I am trying to figure out if there is an expression to count the number of effects on a layer.
Similar to the way numKeys or numLayers can return the number of keyframes or layers;
is there a way to get a number of effects on a specific layer?

Hey Chris,
this works I think:
thisComp.layer("Black Solid 1")("Effects").numProperties -
I didn’t see numProperties documented anywhere. Searched around before asking but I left my Javascript Manual at home since people were jamming it into AC vents to stop rooms from getting cold. I’ll double check it there when I get home but the code is working perfectly.

It’s in the Expression Language Reference section of the AE Help. It’s in the Property attributes and methods section (although it’s not very well marked–it’s actually in the propertyGroup writeup).

Thank you for solving this issue, Dan!
