I was surprised to find that removeKey() doesn’t accept markerComment as an index, so I guess you have to do it the brute force way:

var myProp = app.project.activeItem.layer(1).property("Marker");
for (var i = 1; i <= myProp.numKeys; i++){
	if (myProp.keyValue(i).comment == "test"){
		myProp.removeKey(i);
		break;
	}
}

This should work:

var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var myLayers = myComp.selectedLayers;
if (myLayers.length > 0){
	var myLayer = myLayers[0];
	for (var i = 0; i < myLayers.length; i++){
		myLayers[i].selected = false;
	}
	myProp = myLayer.effect("Faux Parent")("Position Offset");
	myProp.selected = true;
	app.executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId("Convert Expression to Keyframes"));
}

Like this, I guess:

var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var saveCTI = myComp.time;
myComp.time = 0;
// do stuff
myComp.time = saveCTI

Something like this, maybe:

f = fAccum = 0;
while (f < timeToFrames(time)){
  if (opacity.valueAtTime(framesToTime(f)) > 0) fAccum++;
  f++;
}
valueAtTime(framesToTime(fAccum))

I think I’d do it this way:

function Comma(number,sep) {
  number = '' + Math.round(number);
  if (number.length > 3) {
    var mod = number.length % 3;
    var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : '');
    for (i=0 ; i < Math.floor(number.length / 3); i++) {
      if ((mod == 0) && (i == 0))
        output += number.substring(mod+ 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
      else
        output+= sep + number.substring(mod + 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
    }
    return (output);
  }
  else return number;
}
var num = Math.floor(effect("Number")("Valor").value);
var menu = effect("Number")("Dot and Comma").value;
switch (menu){
  case 3:
  case 4:
    var mySep = ",";
    break;
  case 5:
    var mySep = "_";
    break;
  case 6:
    var mySep = " ";
    break;
  default:
    mySep = "."
    break;
}
num = Comma(num,mySep);

[Dan Ebberts]

There’s another one in there. I still haven’t been able to completely test this because of your effect names, but I can test everything but those two lines and I think this works now:

function Comma(number,sep) {
  number = '' + Math.round(number);
  if (number.length > 3) {
    var mod = number.length % 3;
    var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : '');
    for (i=0 ; i < Math.floor(number.length / 3); i++) {
      if ((mod == 0) && (i == 0))
        output += number.substring(mod+ 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
      else
        output+= sep + number.substring(mod + 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
    }
    return (output);
  }
  else return number;
}
var num = Math.floor(effect("Number")("Valor").value);
var menu = effect("Number")("Dot and Comma").value;
var mySep = menu == 3 || menu == 4 ? "," : ".";
num = Comma(num,mySep);

[Dan Ebberts]

Sorry. Line 2 should probably be like this:

number = '' + Math.round(number);

There may be others that I didn’t catch from when you posted your original expression without using the </> formatting.

[Dan Ebberts]

I’m guessing the math behind toWorldVec just doesn’t work if scale is zero. So at that point maybe rotation has no meaning? I’m not sure.

[Dan Ebberts]

I haven’t test this, but it should be close:

function Comma(number,sep) {
  number = " + Math.round(number);
  if (number.length > 3) {
    var mod = number.length % 3;
    var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : ");
    for (i=0 ; i < Math.floor(number.length / 3); i++) {
      if ((mod == 0) && (i == 0))
        output += number.substring(mod+ 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
      else
        output+= sep + number.substring(mod + 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
    }
    return (output);
  }
  else return number;
}
var num = Math.floor(effect("Number")("Valor").value);
var menu = effect("Number")("Dot and Comma").value;
var mySep = menu == 3 || menu == 4 ? "," : ".";
num = Comma(num,mySep);

[Dan Ebberts]

Possibly, depending on what you want to happen. You could encase the toWorldVec() in a try/catch clause, but then you have to decide what you want the result to be in that case:

try{
  thisComp.layer(2).toWorldVec([1,0,0])
}catch(e){
  [1,0,0]
}

Or maybe you could have an invisible layer that isn’t scaled parented to the layer that is scaled and get the x vector from the one that isn’t scaled. It depends on what your situation is.
