Parent object to a parented Null inside another comp?
Building a reallly simple rig, but for certain reasons I need to parent an object (that the person will “hold”, in this case a clipboard) to a null inside another comp, where the hand lies.
I tried attached expression on position to parent it to the position of the null, with offset, but then remembered AE doesn’t give you positional data for parented objects as they move.
Any ideas?
X = comp("Producer2Rig").layer("RightHand").transform.position[0]+220;
Y = comp("Producer2Rig").layer("RightHand").transform.position[1]+275;
[X, Y] -

It probably depends on the relationship between the comp with the parented null and the other comp, but you’re going to need to use layer space transforms. See if this gets you any closer:
L = comp(“Producer2Rig”).layer(“RightHand”);
L.toComp(L.anchorPoint)Dan
