  Text expression with double change (font style and text)

  Posted by Chenar Dupressoir on July 12, 2022 at 1:21 pm

  Hello,

  I spend a lot of time on this trouble but i can find the right solution.The trouble is : I have 2 array, one for my value text and one for my font style.

  i have only one of two change work. when i have the text i can’t change the style and inversely too. I try to have the change of the text in another layer and the style in the main. but same, i can’t find the solution.

  I’m using javascript expression and not the legacy system.

  Thanks for your help.

  var array = ;

  var myFont = ;

  var t = Math.floor(random(1,6));

  var f = Math.floor(random(1,4));

  var textstyle = style.setFont(myFont );

  var textcontent = style.setText(array );

  myText.sourceText = array .style.setFont(myFont );

  myText;

  This should work:

  array = ["first","second","third","fourth"];
  myFont = ["ArialMT","Calibri","LucidaConsole","MyriadPro-Regular"];
  t = Math.floor(random(array.length));
  f = Math.floor(random(myFont.length));
  s = style;
  s.setFont(myFont[f]).setText(array[t]);
