Simulating web cursor (arrow/hand) rollover

[Dan Ebberts]

Here’s one that checks to see if the upper left corner of the layer with the expression is over any of the layers in the array “layerNames”. If it is, it gives the index of that layer. If not, the result it zero. Might get you headed in the right direction.

layerNames = ["Layer 1","Layer 2","Layer 3"]

pointer = [0,0]; // upper left corner

target = null;
for (i = 0; i < layerNames.length; i++){
L = thisComp.layer(layerNames[i]);
p = L.fromWorld(toWorld(pointer));
if (p[0] >= 0 && p[0] <= L.width && p[1] >= 0 && p[1] <= L.height){
target = L;
break;
}
}

if (target == null) 0 else L.index

Thanks very much for the quick reply, just had the chance to give it a test and it’s going to work a treat I think. 🙂
