You can use a ui element of type ‘customView’ (the constructor name is : Custom)

myBtn = myContainer.add(“customView”);

or, within a resource string:

res = “group{…,\
myBtn : Custom{type: ‘customView’},\
….
}”;

They can be attached all sorts of mouse event listeners, nothing broken.
But i think that if instead you take the ‘customButton’ type, ‘mouseup’ and ‘click’ are also broken.

It’s a bit strange that the findPrecomps function calls moveToFolder().

One would expect that the findPrecomps function returns an array of precomps (your function returns nothing), and that the moveToFolder function is called on the result of findPrecomps(), something like:

moveToFolder(findPrecomps());

The line : moveToFolder (curItem, findPrecompFolder ()) … is very wrong, because moveToFolder 1st argument is an array and you pass it a project item object, and also because you run the findPrecompFolder () as many times as there are comps in your project, while you only need to find it once (for a big project with thousands of items this would be extremely slow).

This should work:

t0 = inPoint;
period = 19; // frames
spinDur = 4; // frames
phase = 2; // frames

t = timeToFrames(time-t0)-phase;
n = Math.floor(t/period);
t%=period;
if (t<0) t+= period;

n*360 + ease(t, 0, spinDur, 0, 360);

It’s not.

Edit: forgot to mention that in the above expression, indexMax and radiusMax would depend on your slider control, again through a linear expression.

[Xavier Gomez]

It’s hard to give an explicit expression without knowing more about your setup, but it should be close to something like this:

radiusMin = 50;
radiusMax = 250;
indexMin = // index of the layer closer to the center
indexMax = // index of the external layer
i = thisLayer.index; // index of this layer

linear(i, indexMin, indexMax, radiusMin, radiusMax);

In :

thisLayer.content(“Group 2”).content(“Rectangle 1”).transform.opacity;

you “get down 6 times” to go from the Layer to the Opacity.
(Layer –> Contents —> “Group 2” —> Contents —-> Rectangle 1 —-> Transform —> Opacity

Hence, the other way round, you need to climb up 6 times to go from the Opacity to the Layer.

One thing to know is that every Shape Group inside a shape layer has a “Contents” and a “Transform”
(similarly to the layer itself having a Contents and a Transform)
The “Contents” step is hidden in the UI though, but it is still there somehow and must be accounted for.

Maybe this:

thisProperty.propertyGroup(6).content(“Group 2”).content(“Rectangle 1”).transform.opacity;

or :

thisLayer.content(“Group 2”).content(“Rectangle 1”).transform.opacity;

Xavier

thisProperty.propertyGroup(5)(“Group 2”).content(“Rectangle 1”).transform.opacity; would also work, but less clear imo.

I messed up my previous post. “var idx1 = myFx1.name;” should actually be:

var name1 = myFx1.name;
