Oh my !!! Just cant help without appreciating such a wonderful and creative job!! Excellent. Using expression in programming languages is very rare. using it in hacking is even more rarer. I never came across such an innovative idea.

That’s true. You can’t reference relative folder – at least I haven’t found any way of doing that. The file:/// is just good to use if you’re using the same project file and file structure on two systems like MacOS and Win, but it’s not required.

Great tip. I’m using Win XP 64 bit with AE CS3. My findings vary from the notes in this post. I’ve been unable to target the same folder the AEP file is in with relative referencing. That’s my preference so my project can be more portable. Anyone have success with that?

Here’s my findings. Hopefully this helps someone else use this great tip about the #include directive:

I used the following format, without any file:/// prefix, and I was able to target the Support Files folder (the sample with file:/// targets the root of my C drive):
#include “simpleNumber35.jsxinc”;

Any filename/extension works, but I followed the jsxinc format I read about in the PDF guide referenced below.

Example that targets the root of my C drive: #include “file:///simpleNumber50.jsxinc”;

Example that targets a sub directory (note: no c:\\ needed. None of my trials worked when I included c:\\):
#include “file:///Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\My Documents\\simpleNumber90.jsxinc”;

Links to another thread that cites #include (again, my results are different than the results that are cited here):

is it just me, or does this not work in AE CS4?

Try changing the file path to this format: file:///yourfilepath.ext

i am having issues getting this to work on my Mac using CS3. I have tried putting the file in Resources folder as suggested and in a few other simple to link-to locations, but still have had no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks man… I never knew you could use #includes inside the expressions. This will be very useful!
