  Apple Watch Screen inside of AE position + scaling link within multiple layers

  Hello!

  I am trying to recreate the Apple watch screen within AE:

  So far I have this expression on my circles:

  M = thisComp.layer(“Matte”);
  minScale = [0,0];
  maxScale = [100,100];
  p = M.fromComp(toComp(anchorPoint));
  a = M.sampleImage(p,[.5,.5],true,time)[3];
  linear(a,0,1,maxScale,minScale)

  This with my Matte layer makes the layer scale as they get closer to the edge with a mask with feathering on my matte layer, but I can’t seem to get my circles to move in position closer to each other as they scale down.

  I think I would need an expression that links each Circle to each other surrounding circle to check what each circles scale is and adjust accordingly.

  Does this makes sense?

  Many thanks!
