I’ve solved it. I’m sharing the code block. Maybe it can help.

var selectAiFiles = File.openDialog([“Select scene *.ai file”], [“Illustrator:*.ai”], [true]);

    for (var i = 0; i < selectAiFiles.length; i++) {

        if (importAiFiles.canImportAs(ImportAsType.COMP_CROPPED_LAYERS)) {
            importAiFiles.importAs = ImportAsType.COMP_CROPPED_LAYERS;
            var aiComp = app.project.importFile(importAiFiles);
            aiComp.name = selectAiFiles[i].name.slice(0, -3);
            var layerNamesArr = new Array();
            var layerIndexArr = new Array();
            for (var k = 1; k <= aiComp.numLayers; k++) {
                if (k == aiComp.numLayers) {
                    break;
                }
                var tempNameArr = [aiComp.layers[k]];
                var tempIndexArr = [k];
                for (var l = k + 1; l <= aiComp.numLayers; l++) {
                    if (aiComp.layers[k].name.slice(0, 2) == aiComp.layers[l].name.slice(0, 2)) {
                        tempNameArr.push(aiComp.layers[l]);
                        tempIndexArr.push(aiComp.layers[l].index);

I’ll try it. Thank you Andrei.

Thank you Dan and Filip.

Thank you very much guys. I was having trouble to change style of the text box which i’ve added but figure it out too. I’m adding my code here too. Looks like you should use TextDocument object to modify the style of text box.

var titleLayer = mainComp.layers.addBoxText([1250,500]);

// Title Text Properities ///////////////////////////////////////////

var titleTextDoc = new TextDocument(“Test Text”);

titleLayer.property(“Source Text”).setValue(titleTextDoc);

var textProp = titleLayer.property(“Source Text”);

titleTextDoc = textProp.value;

titleTextDoc.fontSize = 50;

titleTextDoc.text = title;

titleTextDoc.fillColor = [1,0,0];

titleTextDoc.justification = ParagraphJustification.CENTER_JUSTIFY;

textProp.setValue(titleTextDoc);

Looks like it’s a bug. I have delete the file and copy again and it works. Thank you.

[Emre Mutlu]

Thank you very much. This has been extremely helpful.

[Emre Mutlu]

Thank you Dan. I tried your way and it worked.

I was talking about scripting. I post here because can’t find a scripting topic. How could i do it with script? Could you please explain the logic in this so that i can understand it 🙂 Also is there a way to create the mask point without using pen tool?

[Emre Mutlu]

Thanks for your replies and your time guys.

[Emre Mutlu]

Do you mean disabling “Use Display Color Management”? If so i’ve tried with it but couldn’t figure it out.

What’s the proper way of doing this? I’m sending my project also.
