labwork… rd: Shapes to Masks
seems like labwork is popular these days, so why not have a “labs” section for my scripts in development (or at least ones that i feel comfortable releasing for input). being a one-man shop, one “lab” is all i can handle. 
first up in the lab is rd: Shapes to Masks, a script to convert shape paths on a shape layer to mask paths. this is a bit early, but i wanted to get something out for Rob, Trish, and others on the AE list. feel free to leave your feedback (input, requests, bug reports, etc.) in the comments. thanks!

hi bill… yeah, unfortunately parametric shapes aren’t supported because scripting doesn’t have access to the shape vertices. if the star shape was initially created as a Bezier shape (i.e., holding down the Alt/Option key as you dragged out the star), then it’d work.

yes it’s what i supposed, because there’s lots of parametres.
anyway, your script is really nice.
