<group name="$$$/ae/preset/animalhead14/mouth=mouth">

      <slider name="$$$/ae/preset/animalhead14/mouthoffsetx=mouth offset x" default="0" valid_min="-30000" valid_max="30000" slider_min="-500" slider_max="500" precision="1" display_percent="true"/>

      <slider name="$$$/ae/preset/animalhead14/mouthoffsety=mouth offset y" default="0" valid_min="-30000" valid_max="30000" slider_min="-500" slider_max="500" precision="1" display_percent="true"/>

      <slider name="$$$/ae/preset/animalhead14/mouthscalewidth=mouth scale width" default="100" valid_min="-30000" valid_max="30000" slider_min="-500" slider_max="500" precision="1" display_percent="true"/>

      <slider name="$$$/ae/preset/animalhead14/mouthscaleheight=mouth scale height" default="100" valid_min="-30000" valid_max="30000" slider_min="-500" slider_max="500" precision="1" display_percent="true"/>

    </group>

  </effect>

 

onclick.btn function {

   //add text file lines in preseteffects.xml

i did once, this:

 

var scripteffect = {}; scripteffect.xml = <effect matchname="my suppper effector" name="$$$/ae/preset/supppereffector=suppper effector">     <group name="$$$/ae/preset/colors=colors">         <color name="$$$/ae/preset/pointercolor=pointer color" default_red="20" default_green="192" default_blue="50"/>         <slider name="$$$/ae/preset/scenedepth=stereo scene depth" display_percent="true" default="3" valid_min="0.0" valid_max="100" slider_min="0.0" slider_max="100"/>     </group>     <group name="$$$/ae/preset/convergenceoptions=convergence options">         <checkbox name="$$$/ae/preset/convergecameras=converge cameras"/>         <popup name="$$$/ae/preset/convergeto=converge to" popup_string="$$$/ae/preset/convergefrom/popup=camera position|camera point of interest|zoom distance" default="2"/>         <slider name="$$$/ae/preset/convergencezoffset=convergence z offset" default="0.0" valid_min="-50000.00" valid_max="50000" slider_min="-1000" slider_max="1000"/>     </group> </effect>; scripteffect.matchname = scripteffect.xml.@matchname.tostring();  function installscripteffect(){         var ret;     var file = new file(folder.apppackage.absoluteuri + "/preseteffects.xml");     var str, idx, header, xml;     var xmlsettings = xml.settings();         xml.setsettings(xml.defaultsettings());      try{         if (!file.exists) throw "err_file_not_found";          file.open("r");         str = file.read();         file.close();             idx = str.indexof("<effects>");         if (idx<0) throw "???";                 header = str.substring(0, idx-1);         xml = new xml(str.substring(idx, str.length));                 if (!xml.contains(scripteffect.xml)){             xml.appendchild(scripteffect.xml);             if (!file.copy(new file(file.absoluteuri+".bak"))) throw "err_cannot_write";             file.open("w");             if (!file.write(header + xml.toxmlstring())) {file.close(); throw "err_write_failed";};             file.close();             alert("preset installed succesfully. please restart after effects");             }         else{             alert("preset installed. need restart after effects make effective.");             };         ret = true;         }     catch(e){         file.close();         alert(e);         ret = false;         };      xml.setsettings(xmlsettings);         return ret;     };

 

then, when want add effect, check mylayer.effect.canaddproperty(scripteffect.matchname).

if true, nothing do, else use installscripteffect function. normally, works (haven't tried in a  long time).
