Hi. I am making available some JavaScript code which helps make dialogs for scripts in After Effects (also Photoshop and Illustrator).

Just a few lines can bring up a dialog; it wraps up some of the ScriptUI functionality for you, for certain kinds of dialogs.

For example,


can be displayed with:



 
var omd = newOminoDialog("Example Omino Dialog");

omd.number("a number","n",88.21); 
omd.string("a string","s","your name here"); 
var result = omd.run(); 




Here's a link to further explanation on me blog, including how to read the results of the dialog (it's easy). Hope someone finds it useful! Feel free to contact me with questions &c.
