  What’s wrong with this expression?

  Posted by Don Jangeman on January 24, 2006 at 8:07 pm

  yes, I can be stupid, but so badly that I don’t even understand it. Can you explain it to me?

  I have an expression on the position of a layer:

  [thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).position[0].valueAtTime(time-1),thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).position[1].valueAtTime(time-2),thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).position[2].valueAtTime(time-3)]

  Now AE6.5 tells me the first function (and the others as well) are undefined. Is there a proper way to affect single co-ordinates with the valueAtTime?

  thnxs!!!

  Try putting the index last, like this:

  [thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).position.valueAtTime(time-1)[0],thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).position.valueAtTime(time-2)[1],thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).position.valueAtTime(time-3)[2]]

  I didn’t try it, but I think that’s right.
