I think I solve it with this :

app.project.items.addFolder("# RENDER comps");
app.project.items.addFolder("FOOTAGE");
app.project.items.addFolder("MATERIALES");
app.project.items.addFolder("PRECOMPS");
app.project.items.addFolder("Solids");

var i = 1;

while (i<= app.project.items.length){

var itemX = app.project.item(i);

i = i + 1;
if (itemX.name == "# RENDER comps"){

itemX.label = (1);
}
}

But know I want to add a line that ignores “Solids” folder if the folder already exist.

Can anybody help me?

Ok, this is what I endup doing:


myPanel.grp.selectBtn.onClick = function() {

var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var hideLayerCtrl = myComp.layer("Controller").property("ADBE Effect Parade").property("ADBE Checkbox Control").property("ADBE Checkbox Control-0001");
if (myPanel.grp.myDropDownList.selection == 1){
myComp.layer("BG 1").enabled = true;
myComp.layer("BG 2").enabled = false;
myComp.layer("BG 3").enabled = false;
}
if(myPanel.grp.myDropDownList.selection == 2){
myComp.layer("BG 1").enabled = false;
myComp.layer("BG 2").enabled = true;
myComp.layer("BG 3").enabled = false;
}
if(myPanel.grp.myDropDownList.selection == 3){
myComp.layer("BG 1").enabled = false;
myComp.layer("BG 2").enabled = false;
myComp.layer("BG 3").enabled = true;
}


It works for me! I guess there is a better and clean way to do it but for me works.

Thanks!

Ok, now I want that my dropdownlist sets the background of my composition. I have 3 layers, each one is a solid color (later on it will be other composition or a prerender background) and the idea is that when I choose one item in the dropdownlist one of the items shows and the other 2 hide.

This is what I have:


res = "group{orientation:'column', alignment:['fill', 'fill'], alignChildren:['fill', 'fill'],\
myGroup: Group{orientation:'column', alignment:['fill', 'fill'], alignChildren:['fill', 'fill'],\
myStaticText: StaticText{text:'StaticText Text'},\
myEditText: EditText{text:'EditText text'},\
},\
myDropDownList: DropDownList{properties:{items:['[ BACKGROUND ]', 'CYAN', 'AMARILLO', 'MAGENTA']}},\
},\
}"

// Adds resource string to panel
myPanel.grp = myPanel.add(res);

// DropDownList default selection
myPanel.grp.myDropDownList.selection = 0; /// Dropdown index starts at 0

// Assign function to UI elements

Anyone can help me with this?

Oh I see. I dont need the conditional! Excellent! thanks fior the help! It was really helpfull 🙂

Sorry I didn’t catch you… I have to write this?

var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var hideLayerCtrl = myComp.layer("Controller").property("ADBE Effect Parade").property("ADBE Checkbox Control").property("ADBE Checkbox Control-0001");
if (hideLayerCtrl.value == true) {
myComp.layer("BG 1").enabled = true;
myComp.layer("BG 1").enabled = hideLayerCtrl.value;}

I guess not becouse its not working…

Thanks for the answer! I ‘ve try it and it works just when the checkbook is on. How can I add to the conditional so it can be hide when the checkbox is off and shows when the checkbox is on?
