Programmatically change the text of a TextLayer in After Effects

Question

I'm using the After Effects CS3 Javascript API to dynamically create and change text layers in a composition.

Or at least I'm trying to because I can't seem to find the right property to change to alter the actual text of the TextLayer object.

Answer 1

Hmm, must read docs harder next time.

var theComposition = app.project.item(1);
var theTextLayer = theComposition.layers[1];
theTextLayer.property("Source Text").setValue("This text is from code");
