change color to array desired words

[Dan Ebberts]

Something like this for the Amount property of the selector maybe:


myArray=["1.245.345 $", "348.154 $","987.348 $"];
txt = text.sourceText;
gotOne = false;
for (i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++){
if (txt == myArray[i]){
gotOne = true;
break;
}
}
gotOne ? 100 : 0

works perfect, thank you!!

[Peter Zeet]

a quick variation… how it would be adding a fade instead of the 100 value?
I’m doing a linear(time,0,.2,100,0), but it does nothing.
I think I should define time ?

[Dan Ebberts]

To make it fade, the expression would need to know how long it has been since the current number changed to its current value. What’s driving the changes in the source text?

[Peter Zeet]

it’s a keyframed slider (with just 2 frames, one with value 0 and other with 100, which drives the final amount, but the place where the last keyframe is may vary)

I have this expression at the text source:

countTotal=3782721;
textBefore = "+";
textAfter = " $";
s=thisComp.layer("control").effect("grow")("Slider");
n="" + Math.round(s*countTotal/100);
s="";
for(i=0, l=n.length; i

[Dan Ebberts]

That makes things considerably more complicated. One solution would be to insert another loop, inside the loop that’s checking each array element, to go back, frame-by-frame, from the current time to see if that array element shows up within the past .25 seconds (or whatever your ramp time is) and calculate how long ago that was, and use that to drive your linear() or ease() ramp.

uhm! yes, it gets quite complicated! thanks for the tip!!
