  Blinking Cursor Expression

  Posted by Eugene Constable on January 28, 2014 at 11:28 am

  Hi there,
  Im a bit new to writing expressions.
  I want to create a line of text with a blinking cursor, I found this expressions from a tut on aetuts:
  (I created the 3 relevant sliders in the text effects control panel)

  L = text.sourceText.length;
  It = time – thisLayer.inPoint;
  T = It*effect(“Speed”)(“Slider”) – effect(“Start After”)(“Slider”)*effect(“Speed”)(“Slider”);
  F = Math.round( It % 1 );
  if(F==1 | (T0) ){Fl=”|”;}else{Fl=””;}
  value.substr(0,T) + Fl

  …but when I paste it into the source text expression field, i get an error:

  

  I can’t see where I have made an error.

  Any Thoughts? I’m AE CS6 on mac.

  Many Thanks in advance..
