importing numbered frames into AE?

[Ben Wolfinsohn]

wow, thats easy.
thanks!

txt = “2,6,3,8,1,5,3,1,4,5,4,2”;
f = timeToFrames(time);
s = txt.split(“,”);
parseInt(s[Math.min(f,s.length-1)])

this script above you wrote works on the opacity of a solid. but when i try to apply it to a slider i attached to a null it gives me an error of –
class ‘array’ has no property or method named ‘-1’

when i turn on expressions for the slider it first looks like this before i put the script in –
effect(“m-shape”)(1)

thanks!

Try changing the last line to this:

parseInt(s[clamp(f,0,s.length-1)],10)

in general, if you can have at the end of your expression ” == 8″ and you can have a ” < 1″ but can you have both with a “or”?

like this (it’s just core JavaScript):

if((i == 8) || (i < 1))
