I found a new useful script from Byron Nash, which I think you should try out:
This script reads a user specified text file and
creates a text layer for each line of text in a
new comp called “Text Comp”, or it uses the active comp.

- adds …

Tracker2Mask is a new script by Mathias Möhl. It computes the movement of maskshapes based on the movement of trackpoints. It is easy and flexible to use.

This is written for CS3 but should work also in CS4:
To add scripts that can later be added as a panel in the user interface, create a folder in the After Effects CS3 ‘Scripts’ folder called ScriptUI Panels
Example:

Then, any .jsx, .js or .jsxbin scripts that you add in there can be launched from the …

Another great script I found written by Lloyd Alvarez:
3D Text Creator
It creates your required number of text layers in 3D space, very useful. (You have to add a 3d camera to see the effect).

i = 1;
while (i <= items.length) {
if …

app.executeCommand(..nr..)

..in case these numbers would change from AE 7.0 to CS3 and you happen to …
