Expression to change text
I’m trying to use the following expression to change the text of a text field on the stage at different time intervals as indicated by a slider control.
s = "may \rthe FLAME of peace, properity and happiness|and \rwarm your heart";
ind = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
text.sourceText = s.split('|',ind);new to AE expressions so how does this work?

s = “may \rthe FLAME of peace, properity and happiness|and \rwarm your heart”;
ind = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
t = s.split(‘|’);
text.sourceText =t[ind];updated my expression…(I know some javascript)

got it!
s = "may \rthe FLAME of\rpeace, properity\rand happiness|and \rwarm your heart";
ind = parseInt(thisComp.layer("Paragraphs").effect("textArray")("Slider"));
t = s.split('|')[ind];
text.sourceText = t; -
Real quick note here; prosperity is spelled wrong.

give yourself a cow button, and if you want, for easier control, divide the slider by 5 or something so you can easily animate without your mouse slipping around.
