Mix numbers and characters to simulate a digital clock
I’m trying to simulate the display of a digital clock in the format NN:NN (where “N” is a number). I’m trying to do this using two slider controls since I want to be able to control the numbers. However, I’m unable to mix the numbers from the slider controls with ” : “, it just results in an expression error.
Any ideas?

I think this does what your asking for:
n1 = effect(“Slider Control 1”)(“Slider”);
n2 = effect(“Slider Control 2”)(“Slider”);
“” + n1 + “:” + n2but this might be better:
function padZero(n){
return (n < 10 ? "0" : "") + n;
}
n1 = effect("Slider Control 1")("Slider");
n2 = effect("Slider Control 2")("Slider");
padZero(n1) + ":" + padZero(n2)
