Hello it's been a long time since my last post here. Since a lot has changed, i don't even know if I'm posting this in the right section.
I have this code here (script) for Adobe After Effects CS 6. It was working fine, until recently, when it started appear an undefined error at line 91 - here is the code:

Code:
var newFile = File.openDialog ("Select a file.");

if (newFile != null) {
    var wMap = readWeather(newFile, 0).contentAry;

    app.beginUndoGroup("Weather Map");
        setWeatherMap(wMap);
    app.endUndoGroup();
}

function readWeather(inputDoc, linesToSkip){
    var curDoc = new File(inputDoc);

    if (curDoc.exists) {
        var contentAry = new Array();
        curDoc.open("r");
   
        while (!curDoc.eof){
            contentAry[contentAry.length] = curDoc.readln();       
        }
   
        curDoc.close();
    }
    contentAry.splice(0, linesToSkip);
    var contentList = contentAry.join("_dpt_").toString().replace(new RegExp("_dpt_", "g"), "\r");
    contentAry = contentAry;
    return {
        'contentAry': contentAry,
        'contentList': contentList
    }
}

function setWeatherMap(content){
    try {
        if (content instanceof Array){
            var c, compName, curLine, line1, line2, line3, line4, pl;
            var theComps = [];
            var myFilesImp = [];
            var aryLength = content.length;
            var activeComp = app.project.activeItem;
            var imgDir = ("D:\\_kikac\\news 2015\\Kikac\\");
            var newAmt = 9;
            function processFolder(theFolder){
                for ( var i = 1; i <= newAmt; i++){
                    var importOpts = new ImportOptions( new File(theFolder + "w"+ i + ".mov"));
                    var importFiles = app.project.importFile (importOpts);
                    myFilesImp.push(importFiles);
                }
            }
            processFolder(imgDir);         
       
            var weather = 9;
   
            for (var i = 0; i < aryLength; i++){
                curLine = content [i];
                pl = parse(curLine); //

                line4 = pl.weatherState;

Thanks in advance

EDIT: The line is on the code where I set the footage size (It is marked with a comment in the code)

The only thing I can see is the error is happening on a divide line. Any chance that myfile.width or myfile.source.pixelAspect are zero? If so you would get a divide by zero error and that might be the cause.

  • The Helper The Helper:
    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
