Re: Layer Space Transform question
by Darby Edelen on May 7, 2008 at 3:32:35 pm

I think you may need two instances of toWorld(), one to convert the anchor point of the layer to its world position inside the composition and another to convert that position to a world position in the current comp... I can't test these until I get to work but I think something like this may work:

l = comp("myComp").layer("myLayer"); //myComp is the composition with the layer (myLayer) that we want to retrieve the anchor point of

toWorld(l.toWorld(anchorPoint));


This is assuming that the first call to l.toWorld(anchorPoint) will return the position of the anchor point in the nested composition, and I'm not entirely confident of that. I don't usually use layer space transforms between comps =O
