Name attribute now show layer

Hello

I am very new to scripting in After Effects, but were programming in C++ for about 25 years, so I have a programming background.  I create a camera installation script.  In the script, I create a null value and want to name it "Camera Control".  I use this code snippet to create the value null:

var myNull = ThisComp.layers.addNull ();

myNull.threeDLayer = true;

myNull.position.setValue ([w, h, 0]);

myNull.name = "Camera control";

After you run the script, the null camera control is created, and it works exactly as I want it.  The problem is that the name of the value null ("Camera Control") sometimes works, and sometimes the name is just "Null #" (where # = number).  When this happens again, everything works as expected, but the name of the layer is false.

Am I missing something?

I guess that you just type the "myNull.transform.position.setValue ([w, h, 0])". Try this to set the name:

try {myNull.name = "Camera Control" ;} catch (Err) {Alert (Err) ;} "}    This may display errors if there is.

If nothing happens, it means that you set the name successfully. The reason why you see the "# Null" may be that you do not see the name of 'Source '. Just click, and it turns into "Layer name", which is what you want.

PS.25 years of experience in C++ program is so amazing.

  • Drive external hard Mac has shown in the past but does not now show in disk utility. How can I get it back?

    I'm going crazy trying to find an answer to this question! My external hard drive has shown in the past but not now shows in disk utility. My OS is X El Capitan.

    I tried to turn off my computer then unplug my external hard drive waiting for 30 seconds back on my computer and plug my hard drive with no joy.

    I hope someone can help.

    Hi willy of San Jacinto.

    I understand that your external hard drive is no longer seen by your computer. I know it's important to have a good backup location, and for that to work, I am so happy to provide assistance with this.

    Read this article on troubleshooting USB devices:

    OS X El Capitan: If a USB device does not work

    If your computer is yet to see the hard drive after following these steps, it would be interesting to test this drive on another computer if available. If you continue to have problems, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of the hard disk on a hardware failure possible.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, cheers!

  • I copied the photo library on external drive, and that one photo now shows despite the file being 70 GB.

    I had a library in iPhoto on an external HARD drive, and it worked. This is a disc plu so I decided to replace it with a new one that doesn't take much space on my desk. I copied the library through an external DRIVE to another drive, and it seemed to work. However, it now shows that a single photo despite being listed in the file manager as containing more than 70 GB.

    I explored a bit further in the file using finder and preview and found many files sorted by date. The photos seem to be all there, but they appear in iPhoto when I switched to this library. Always only one picture appears.

    I decided to convert the copied pictures from iPhoto library and it took a lot of time to convert, but the converted library always display just a single photo in Photos when I switch to this library.

    I could import all of them individually, but it's a big enough job, if there is a way to get libraries to work correctly.

    Any suggestions?

    We need the details - what format is the drive? How is it connected? It serves a TM backup Volume? How you copied the library itself? The library still works fine on the old drive? anything else you can tell us which could help a total strange who don't see you help?

  • My Windows Live Mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name, but now, when I add a new contact, it is positioned at the top of the list instead being placed in the right place alphabetical.

    My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name, but now, when I add a new contact, it is positioned at the top of the list instead being placed in the right place alphabetical.  How to load the list of contacts to organize all contacts, including contacts, in alphabetical order by family name?

    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name,

    It is not clear what you mean by this statement.

    • There is an option in the contacts window in kind (names) of > name -is that what you mean?
    • Or that, when you open / switch to the contacts window, you see a list sorted by last name?
    • Or that when you click on to... or start typing in the to... box in a message composition window, you see a list ('contact selector') sorted by family name?

    Only in contact with an e-mail address will appear in the "Chooser". The list includes names in alphabetical order. For contacts with a first name and a registered name , the list will be sorted based on the preference granted to sort by in the Contacts window. Contacts with multiple email addresses will appear once for each address with the address in brackets after the name.

    Name is a special value built by WLMail contact data fields. It will consist of the first match found during the analysis of the data fields in the following order:

    1. Nickname
    2. First name + last name (in the order specified to sort by in the Contacts window)
    3. First name or last name
    4. Company
    5. E-mail address
    As you start typing in of... box, WLMail will present a list of matching entries in your contacts list. You can start typing username, first name, first name, company, e-mail address to a contact or any significant word in the Notes field for this contact. So, if you type bil, for example, the list that appears will include
    • any person whose nickname starts with Bil, e.g. Billyboy
    • any person whose first name begins with Bil, e.g. of Bilbo Baggins
    • anyone whose first name begins with Bil, for example Jim Bilko
    • everyone whose company name starts with Bil, e.g. Billingsgate Market
    • everyone with an address of e-mail from bil bil or just after a period or the ' @' symbol, for example "the bilbo at hotmail dot com" or "jim to billingsgate dot com" or "jim.bilko at hotmail dot com.
    • all categories whose name contains a word starting with bil

    If this does not solve your problem, please post your question in the forum dedicated to contacts in Windows Live Mail.

  • Change administrator account name and now can't find My Documents

    Tomorrow I'm helping a friend clean her Windows XP computer after her divorce.    He said he went into Control Panel, user accounts and accounts deleted for his sons and then changed the name on his account (Administrator) to his name.  Now he says that he cannot find his documents.  I guess that it should not have changed his account name to her name and instead made his account an administrative and then deleted his account.  Is there a way to fix this?   Thank you.

    Hi sillycat41,
     
    Look in the C:/Documents and Settings folder, as to how much user account folders are present.
    Maybe his account will have a different name.
     
    Repair the damaged user account and check if it helps.
    For more information, see:
     
    If this is insufficient, restore the system to an earlier point before making any changes to the user account.

  • looking for script for the name of the background layer

    I saw a script that, on opening a file in photoshop cs5, would change the name of "background" on the name of the file,

    for example the 'context', instead, would read "joe the bike", or something like.

    any ideas?

    I use lion and imac i7.

    Thank you all

    This might work; It changes the name only if the layer down is a background layer, however.

  • Activation of the Oracle name attribute (QuickTest Pro)

    Hi all

    I am to evaluate QuickTest Pro (link) as a method to automate interactions with the customer with Oracle Forms applications. QuickTest Pro has built-in support for Oracle Forms, but it requires the 'name' attribute is enabled. Here are the instructions to do this (from the QuickTest Pro help file):

    To activate the name attribute when you use HTML to start the Oracle application:

    1. in the startup HTML file that is used to launch the application, find the line: < PARAM name = "serverArgs... fndnam = APPS" >
    2. Add the Oracle key: record = names. For example: < PARAM name = "serverArgs" value = "module = f:\FNDSCSGN userid = fndnam = apps = names folder XYZ" >

    I talked to others who have automated Oracle Forms in the past and they have confirmed that this step is necessary, even if you use a solution of automation that QuickTest Pro.

    So here's my question - what HTML file I need to change? I start all my forms on the web page of E-Business Suite, which appears in my browser as "OA.jsp".
