return value of layer index

[Dan Ebberts]

For the layer with the expression:

var idx = index;

For a different layer

var idx = thisComp.layer(“other layer”).index;

As always you rock!
I was over thinking it, I guess, by by writing:

var idx = thisLayer(index);

or perhaps I was invoking some other aspect of the expression that doesn’t return the value of the layer’s index

Thanks again

This should work as well:

var idx = thisLayer.index;
