Trying to add dashes to lines via Scripting (Not working)
Hello guys, i don’t know why my code is not working, anyone can help me?
I created a button that add dashes to selected shape layers, and it seems to be fine but is not working.buttonDashes.onClick = function (){ app.beginUndoGroup("Set Dashes");
var project = app.project;
var comp = project.activeItem;
var myLayers = comp.selectedLayers;
for (var i = 0; i < myLayers.length; i++){
tryLineCap(myLayers[i].property("ADBE Root Vectors Group"))
}
function tryLineCap(prop) {
for (var j = 1; j <= prop.numProperties; j++){
var subProp = prop.property(j);
if (subProp.numProperties) {
tryLineCap(subProp)
} else {
if (subProp.matchName == "ADBE Vector Graphic - Stroke") {
subProp.property("ADBE Vector Stroke Dashes").addProperty("ADBE Vector Stroke Dash 1").setValue(20);
}
}
}
}
app.endUndoGroup();
}

Vincento – describing what does not work could help to get into the issue without even running the code

I’m not sure about your recursive property navigating function, but going right at it like this works:
myLayers[i].property("ADBE Root Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Group").property("ADBE Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Graphic - Stroke").property("ADBE Vector Stroke Dashes").addProperty("ADBE Vector Stroke Dash 1").setValue(20); -
Hello Dan!! Thank you for your reply, i tried what you tell me and it works perfectly, but the problem is that i want it to be applied to any selected shape layer (or layers) no matter how many shapes and groups are inside this layer/layers, that’s why i was using that recursive property navigating function but i don’t know how to merge that function with the navigation that you gave me, can you help me? Thanks!
