Another Transition Question
Hey there,
I’m a 3 year veteran of AE, but new to expressions as well as Creative Cow’s forums.
I have an animation where by several layers pop onto the screen in rapid succession (try to image a loaf of sliced bread with each slice appearing one after the other very quickly). From there, the stack of layers needs to quickly move into a new formation; in this case a grid. I have found scripts online that will achieve each formation (the rapidly appearing stack as well as the grid formation).
My question is: Is there a way via expressions to transition from the stacked formation to the grid formation? Can I intigrate a slider control for flexibilty? Should I not be using scripts for this animation? Is there a better over all methodology to acheive this animation?
Thanks for the help.

you could calculate the random position and store it in variable A.
calculate the gridposition and store it in variable Bthen using a slider from 0 to 100 on a Null and the linear() or ease() function you could do this:
a=random([640,480]);
b=[(index%7)*80 , 80*Math.floor(index/8)];
c=thisComp.layer("CONTROLLER").effect("interpolate")("Slider");linear(c,0,100,a,b);
the first 2 lines are some quick pseudo-code, change that to the formulas you allready have.
