Nevermind, I managed to get this syntax to work. Feel free to close.

Worked like a charm, you’re a king among men Dan.
If you don’t mind me asking, what was the problem? It just needed to be assigned to a variable?

Sorry, it’s actually a script. On button click I create a solid, add particle world to it, then import a png file, add it to the composition, and then I’d like to hide it. I believe the reference to the .png by the time it reaches the composition is myComp. But I’m unable to disable it.

Hey Dan, I’m currently having a problem and I can’t get this expression to work. My syntax is:


var path = "~/Desktop/fireball.png";

var io = new ImportOptions(File(path));

if (io.canImportAs(ImportAsType.FOOTAGE)){
io.importAs = ImportAsType.FOOTAGE;
io.sequence = false;
io.forceAlphabetical = true;

var sequence = app.project.importFile(io);
sequence.name = "importA";
}

var myComp = null; // assume the worst
for (var i = 1; i <= app.project.numItems; i++){
if ((app.project.item(i).name == "importA")){
myComp = app.project.item(i);
break;
}
}
if (myComp != null){
app.project.activeItem.layers.add(myComp);

}


no matter where I put the expression to disable the layer, it doesn’t seem to do it’s job. Any ideas? Thanks.
