#include Doesn't work in AE CS4

[Timothy...@adobeforums.com]

Anyone have a work around for the "#include" javascript in CS4. Used an external file to drive some text in my comp in CS3, but the same script doesn't work in CS4. I even downloaded a comp from the graymachine.com <http://www.graymachine.com/v3/tutorials/170-19-expressions-and-external-documents.html> website to check and it didn't work either.

I'm on a MAC, by the way.

No idea, but since this is an unofficial "hack" anyway, you cannot blame anyone. This feature may have been removed. As a minor, look whether your permissions for scripts in the prefs are set to read and write files...

I use Scripts Panels, so the javascript selection is checked already to read and write files. Although, I can appreciate the start with the obvious first.

instead of #include you can try to use the $.evalFile(path of your file).
