Creating a superscript dollar sign in a counter expression
Hello,
I’m working on Jackpot winner videos and have created a counter expression using the slider and this..
Only thing is my boss would like the dollar sign to be super scripted.
Anyone know how this can be done??var num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
num = "$" + Comma(num);
[num]function Comma(number)
{
number = '' + Math.round(number);
if (number.length > 3)
{
var mod = number.length % 3;
var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : '');
for (i=0 ; i < Math.floor(number.length / 3); i++)
{
if ((mod == 0) && (i == 0))
output += number.substring(mod+ 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
else
output+= ',' + number.substring(mod + 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
}
return (output);
}
else return number;

In the text layer panel for the text, click the ‘animate’ button and select ‘position’
In the range controls, set the start / end parameters to select just the $ sign.
Then use the position control to move the character where you want it.
If you also want it to be smaller, click ‘add’ on the existing animator you just created, and select property->scale.
The combination of the two would allow you to emulate superscript. This gets much more fun as you can animate all these parameters!

You’re welcome.
Just a thought, if the length of you number changes, you will need to animate the range selector end position as below. (assuming your text layer is called text).
