If you use Time Remapping you can use that to set the frame using either its own or an expression slider. With TR you can hold and repeat any frames you want.
Your post says you want the script to determine when the eye blinks, if that’s the case, I don’t believe any script can make that determination.

You may need to run the clean script before reinstalling.

Have you tried Caustics with a displacement map?
You could generate wave/water like motion using fractal noise or wave world for the displacement map.
You apply caustics to a solid layer and set use the displacement map for the water layer and the in your case the reflected layer is set as the bottom layer in the effect.To reflect the layer there are several techniques, a duplicate layer scaled and positioned below the reflecting layer or use Andrew Kramer’s free VC Reflect plug-in.

What about using a font where the letters are composed of dots?

This isn’t my area of expertise, when I need this done I work with a Flash expert. I’ve worked with many swfs and flv files that are scripted to respond to user input, but I don’t write the code.
Depending on which method you choose there are different solutions. In the case where you have a single video with a loop point you’d need to script the swf to return to that point once it reaches the end.
In the case where you have 2 swfs, the end of one would trigger the loading of the second.
After Effects markers can be used to generate Events and Navigation points for Flash. I suggest you look at the documentation for After Effects markers there is good information there:
https://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7e6ca.html#WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7e64a
Then pose your questions on the Flash forum.

Do you want the loop in the swf for the web or in After Effects?
If its for the web then you’ll only render the 8 second animation and you’ll need to import the file in to Flash and write an Action Script to make it loop.
Alternately you could create 2 swfs – the 8 second version and the 4 second loop – then have the web page load the looping bit once the first one has completed playing.

Michael is correct. After Effects can’t really generate a TS (Title Set). If you’re on a Mac use Compressor if you’re on a PC and have Encore make the best *UN*compressed render you can in After Effects, import it in to Encore and let it make the TS file.

I routinely get PDF’s from clients and have several dozen at a time. TO get rid of the alpha I created an action in Photoshop – adding a layer filled with white below the image then merge down – which I then batch in Photoshop.

From the looks of it this was done in a 3D app, note the reflection on the floor which animates seamlessly as the DVD opens. The cloudy floor could be done in After Effects using Fractal Noise, the wrap around background could be done using the script for a Skydome from aescripts. https://aescripts.com/skydome/
Though it could also be faked using simple curved shapes in the background. There also appear to be some clouds or fog which can be done using a particle system, even CC Particle World if you don’t have Particular.
The reflection can be done using VC Reflect, free from VideoCopilot https://www.videocopilot.net/presets/reflection_plug-in/
