Scripting – Text layer properties
IS there a way to change the color, size, bold, italics, etc of a text layer when you add it through scripting?
I have this to add the layer but need to be able to change the properties of it as well.
var theTime = myComp.layers.addText("10:00");
theTime.name = "Score Clock";
theTime.position.setValue([1554,124]);Thanks Nick

As of CS4, you can change the font, size, fill & stroke colors and stroke width. CS5 added tracking to the list. See Todd Kopriva’s blog for the full list:

Hey Dan,
Thanks for the link. It was exactly what I was looking for. Do you know if there is anyway to set the font to Italics? That was covered in Todd’s post.

As far as I know, there isn’t a way to do that.
