Maintaining distance between layers, even if I scale the center one
Hi!
In this period i’m experimenting and studying a lot expressions for motion graphic template, and now i’m facing another wall ☺Let’s say I have 3 elements (the 2 text box and the comma graphic, as in the following image)
And let’s say I wanna scale the center box, but no matter how much I scale it, I always want the other 2 elements (the up and down ones) mantaining he same distance from the center one. How can I do it?
Witch expression may I use? Can SourceRectAtTime be useful in this case?
Thanks so much again

Something like this should work for the upper:
gap = 25;
L = thisComp.layer(“Middle Text”);
r = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
hisUL = L.toComp([r.left,r.top]);
r2 = sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
myLR = toComp([r2.left+r2.width,r2.top+r2.height]);
value + [0,hisUL[1] – myLR[1]-gap]and something like this for the lower:
gap = 25;
L = thisComp.layer(“Middle Text”);
r = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
hisLR = L.toComp([r.left+r.width,r.top+r.height]);
r2 = sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
myUL = toComp([r2.left,r2.top]);
value + [0,hisLR[1] – myUL[1]+gap]Dan
