Set sourceText of another layer?
Not sure this is possible, but let’s say I’m wanting to ‘set’ the Source Text from another layer WITHOUT putting an expression in the sourceText of the layer I want to change.
So, something like thisComp.layer(1).sourceText = “hello world”;
So setting the sourceText as you would initialize a variable.
Is that even possible, or is the sourceText read only?
Thanks,
Jim

An expression can only change the value of the property where that expression exists, so no, you can’t change a layer’s source text from an expression applied somewhere else.

fascinated to know where this would be useful though…

Thanks! I’m just a former database/application programmer trying to figure out what I can and can’t do.
