| As the others said, you can set the timeline start in the comp panel. However if that's not exactly what you meant, maybe this script will help you out:
It's a crude hack together of a Dan Ebberts / Brian Maffit script from a few years ago that makes the precompose function work exactly the way I've always wanted it to :-) If you follow the original thread at AE enhancers:
http://aenhancers.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=51
you'll see that all sorts of people have modified the precomp feature to customise it to their wishes, including naming options etc. I keep meaning to update my script to include a better naming option (I think the version linked to above has a hard-coded name from the project I was working on at the time) but I'll get around to it one day...

This is how it worked in cs3, now if I precompose a layer that does not start at 0 in the parent comp, my new precomp starts at a negative number. I do a lot of 3d rendering and need to now absolute frame numbers...yes I can do math but I would rather just look at my comp time and see the atual frame number I am looking at as opposed to this negative number sillyness.
