Reference a variable comp name
Hello AE community!
I’m trying to reference to a composition which is duplicated many times.
Let me give you an example:
I have a text layer named “Index” which changes value each time the comp is duplicated
For example, it’s value is 1.
a = thisComp.layer(“Index”).text.sourceText;
x = comp(“name 1” & a ).layer(“^TV1”).sourceRectAtTime(time).height;I need it to be “name 1 1”
For example, it’s value is 2.
a = thisComp.layer(“Index”).text.sourceText;
x = comp(“name 1” & a ).layer(“^TV1”).sourceRectAtTime(time).height;I need it to be “name 1 2”
Hope I’ve made it clear enough what’s my problem ☺
Thanks!

Try it this way:
a = thisComp.layer(“Index”).text.sourceText;
x = comp(“name 1 ” + a ).layer(“^TV1”).sourceRectAtTime(time).height;Dan
