Modifying Light Type through script

I am new to scripting for After Effects, so I apologize if this has a simple answer.
I am writing a script for CS3 that involves creating a series of light layers. I want to be able to set the Light Type for these layers, but this is not listed as a property in the CS3 scripting guide. How do I do it?

Could you go low tech and insert the words Before and After on the relevant photos in your image editor?

How to change light type?

Does anyone know how to change light type?
What happens is that I have a button that I would want to create a Point light, but it just create a spot light.
Does anyone know how to change it to create a point light?
My code is:
//Add a Point Light to active Comp
addLightCtrl.onClick = function(){
var pointLight = proj.layers.addLight("Light", [960, 540]);

See the LightLayer object's lightType attribute. Page 100 of the AE CS6 scripting guide.
pointLight = activeItem.layers.addLight("Light", [960, 540]);
pointLight.lightType = LightType.POINT;

Pie Chart Animation through Script

hi,
i want to animate a pie chart which created dynamically through script.
please help.

Hi there
Not sure how you want to animate your chart but, in the example below the chart is created in code. I've instansiated a SeriesInterpolate class and set the showDataEffect of the series. This then aminates the chart when the data changes.

In the Control Data of FS00 there is field 'Authorization Group'
Please Create an Authorization Group for those user ID who can post TDS entries.
then Maintain this group for TDS related GL.
Then others will not able to post to this GL.

Creation and selection of Notification types through Maintenance order

All,
When i create a notification through the order, while giving the notification type in F4 selection, only i could able to see S1,S2 &S3 notification types. Neither i could see the other standard notification types nor the custom notification types configured in the selection. Also we didnt include any notification types in the personal list in selection.
Can somebody throw ideas about this behaviour ?
Regards,
Suresh.

Hi Riyaj,
Thanks for your input.
The custom notification types have been configured for the notification category 01 which is maintenance notification. But the order type through which the notification i am creating is activated with service profile.
I guess, this could be the reason, if it is, is it any other way to bring the custom notification types as mentioned above ?

24" iMac - light visible through case

Soes anyone else have their 24" in a dark room ?
At night when my room is pitch black, I can see a light shining through the case. It's NOT the sleep light, and I can see it even when the computer is turned off.
The location of the light is immidiately to the right of the apple logo.
I can see the silhouette of what looks like the same grating as on the bottom of the computer in a diagonal strip. It's too dim to get a picture, but it is visible (from up to 4-6 feet) in a dark room.
It's probably just the processor or motherboard LED or something. I was just surprised to see it. Apple markets the advantages of the ambient light sensor on the sleep light, and when turned of, a light shines through the case!
If anyone could shed some light (lol, I wasn't even trying to pun) on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone else see the same thing?
BTO 24" iMac 2.16 C2D 1GB 7600GT

I noticed the same light on my 24" the other night while it was off.
It's in the same position as you describe. It's not a bright light, if I look directly at it I can hardly see it but if I look slightly away its more obvious. Up close you can see the silhouette as mentioned.
From what I read on a forum its just an LED on the motherboard, the fact that it is near the sensor could explain why its noticeable - the plastic there is translucent to allow the IR signals to pass through? Thats what I read anyway.

Can you set a layer to "Template" through script?

Hi there,
     I am creating a script to batch export multiple artboards as SVG, and setting a layer to "Template" will keep my unwanted paths from exporting. I am using Illustrator version 17.1.9(64bit)
Is there a way to set a layer to "template" through script?
Thanks!
Scott

You are correct on this, if I create a template Action let say called "template layer" I can call that with app.doScript("template layer", "folder"). After testing it does work... on my client where I have the Action, but I have a few other artist who will need to run this script.
EXAMPLE:
for (var i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.layers.length; i++)
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i] ;
    if(app.activeDocument.layers[i].visible == false){
        app.doScript ("template layer", "NI");
The only other solution I can think of is putting all non-exportable objects on a layer, and call that layer "nonExport" and select all objects on this layer delete them, then export, then undo this action ... ewwww... sounds messy.
Cheers,
Scott

Hide navigation pane of adobe reader through scripting

Hi.. I'm looking for a script to hide the navigation pane of the adobe reader through scripting, is there any way I can achieve that?
my main objective is to restrict user from attaching a file by using navigation pane because I'm already giving buttons to attach a file on the pdf and I want user to attach a file ONLY using buttons on the pdf. Can I achieve this by any other way?
Thanks in advance.
Sunaif

Hi,
you can hide all panes with this script in the docReady:event.
event.target.viewState = {overViewMode:1};
