How do I get the current file's path as a string in ExtendScript?

I am trying to get the current file's path of my After Effects project (not jsx)

var path = app.project['file'];

This variable path is giving me the a current File object name, but it is a File object not a string.

I need the alert as string. Or is there even a better way to get the path as string?

Solution

  • Take a look at the File Object in the Object Model Viewer within Extendscript Toolkit or here. 

    if(app.project.file !== null){
    var path = app.project.file.fsName;
    $.writeln(path);
}
