Name attribute now showing in layer

Question

Hi,
I am very new to After Effects scripting, but have been programming in C++ for about 25 years, so I have a programming background.  I am creating a camera rig script.  In the script I create a null and want to name it "Camera Control".  I am using this code snippet to create the null:
var myNull = ThisComp.layers.addNull();
myNull.threeDLayer = true;
myNull.position.setValue([w,h,0]);
myNull.name="Camera Control";
After running the script, the camera control null is created, and it works exactly like I want it to.  The problem is that the null's name ("Camera Control") works sometimes, and other times the name is just "Null #" (where # = some number).  When this happens everything still works as designed, but the layer name is wrong.
Am I missing something?

I suppose you just type the "myNull.transform.position.setValue([w,h,0])". Just try this to set the name:
try {myNull.name="Camera Control";}catch(err){alert(err);}    //this can display errors if there are.
If nothing happens,it means that you set the name successfully.The reason why you see the "Null #" might be that you did not see the "Source Name".Just click it ,and it changes into "Layer Name",which is what you want.
Ps.25-year program experience in C++ is So amazing.
