i believe the expressions as written (by Stu) were as designed — i.e., use the current Anchor Point position, instead of using the center of the layer. however, using the layer’s center would be nice as well. i’ll consider an update with that option, but it’d require a UI or be done as a separate script. the original intent was to have a simple script that could be applied w/o a UI.

btw, if you’ve played around with the CS3 public preview build, you might’ve noticed that the layout of some UI controls doesn’t match pre-CS3 versions. i’m in the process of updating all of my scripts to fix those issues (by using the new auto-layout capabilities and resource string-defined UIs), as well as take advantage of dockable ScriptUI panel support. lots of work (hence my relative silence on the scripting front), but it’ll be good to get all of my scripts up to the same level.

thanks for the kind words. it’s my little way of giving back to the community. it’s cool that you’re sharing your creations on your site as well.

a little suggestion about the Que Es San Null script:
it works fine only if the anchorpoints of the selected layers have not been changed from their initial values; a possible adjustment to retrieve the actual position of a non-parented 2d layer whether its anchorpoint has been modified or not, could be:

L = thisComp.layer(”Medium Royal Blue Solid 1″);
p = L.position;
a = L.anchorPoint;
w = L.width;
h = L.height;
delta = a - [w/2, h/2];
p - delta;

and the same change would be made in the other expressions (scale, rotation).

btw, huge thanks for sharing your scripts and coding infos, it’s been so helpful to me when I started AE scripting some years ago.
