TextDocument object’s “Leading” Property?
Hello all,
this is probably an easy scripting thing but i can’t get this one to work no matter what i tried:
In a script, all parameters for characters in a text layer seem to be adjustable by the TextDocument object, except the Leading parameter. This parameter is not listed in the AE scripting guide. But why? And how can i change this value with a script?
I tried this:
textDocument2.leading = 40;
which just returns “auto” inside of after effects, no matter what value i give it, but at the same time it does not seem to fail to recognise the property because the script continues after this line.
Is there a dependancy on another value maybe or am i just using the wrong property? All other values (font size, tracking, etc) work as they should.

Leading is not accessible to scripting. The fact that your script continues without error probably just means that it has appeneded its own, non-functional leading attribute to your textDocument2 object (just a guess).

If you want leading access in scripting, you should submit a feature request:
