Length of lower third box determined by multiple lines of copy
Forgive me for the simple question regarding if/then statements. Rookie here when it comes to expressions.
I have a lower third box with 3 lines of copy. Using layer controls and point controls, I am able to adjust the width of the box (“Back Charcoal” layer) based on either line 1 or line 2 – whichever line is longest. But I am unable to figure out how to write the expression to account for line 3 (if that were the longest) as well.
In the attached screenshot, the variable for “T” is the first line of copy, the variable for “T2” is for the 2nd line of copy, and the variable “T3” is the third line.
Thank you for your help!

I think you just need to replace the last line with this (not tested though):
tMax = Math.max(t.width,t2.width,t3.width);
[tMax,t.height] -
That worked, Dan, (and it sent me down a trail to look more into Math.max). Thank you so much!
