Scripting Question 2…
Dan, I’ll assume… 😛
After I use “importFileWithDialog()” to import an file, an image lets say, how can I store the value of that item (the item number) as a variable? After I import an image, I would like to place it in a layer, so…
myImage = myComp.layers.add(freshlyImported);
-echo
PS: I can clarify upon request -

Well, strangely enough, once you import a footage item, you actually have to loop through all the items in the project window and find it before you can add it to a comp. Something like this:
myPath = imageFolderPath + imageFile;
myImageFile = File(myPath);
myImportOptions.file = myImageFile;
myFootage = myProject.importFile(myImportOptions);n = myProject.numItems;
for (j=1; j<=n; j++){ if (myProject.item(j).name == imageFile){ myNewFootage = myProject.item(j); break; } } myImage = myComp.layers.add(myNewFootage); Dan
