Apple Doc “magnify” expression?

[Colin Braley]

I don’t have AE infront of me right now but I think I can give you an expression what will work. Apply this to the scale of the layer you want to change. Pick whip the mouse_layer variable to whatever layer you want to use.

//Begin expression
mouse_layer = thisComp.layer(“mouse layer”);//Mouse layer
beginScale = 100;//Scale begins at this
endScale = 250;//Scale ends at this
beginDistance = 200;//Distance to begin magnifying in pixels
endDistance = 0;//Distance to end magnifying in pixels
//–Don’t modify below here
dis = length(this.position, mouse_layer.position);
ease(dis, beginDistance, endDistance, beginScale, endScale)

//end expression

I think what should do the magnifying part of the apple dock animation.

Is it possible to change the scale method to a Z-axis position, I mean, instead of scaling the layers, I want to move them forward and backward in Z-axis when the mouse layer moves.

Thanks in advance..
