refer to a layer’s name in a precomp in conditional expression
been searching a lot before I posted this, but didn’t get anything yet.
lets say I have a comp named “Comp01” and inside it two layers:
1# – pre-comp named “Precomp 001”
2# – White solidI want “White solid” to change it’s opacity value to 0 if there is a layer inside “Precomp 001” that is called “black soild”
it’s a bit confusing, but it’s part of a bigger automated script I am working on that can reconstruct the layers in the Precomp 001.
so basicly. I need an expression that can go inside a certain precomp, search for a certain layer name (based on the index number maybe) and if it finds it there than to change a certain property in the layer it’s assigned to.
is that clear enough?
thnxI.

Maybe something like this, on the opacity layer of the White Solid.
try{
comp("Precomp 001").layer("Black Solid");
0
}catch(err){
100
}
