Money counter w/ a non-liner counting progression

[Dustin Ward]

Yeah I have it set to 2, and it works, but they stay zeros.

[Dan Ebberts]

Do your keyframes have decimals in the values?

Oh, I see. When I spin the angle it doesn’t do anything, but when I play it back with keyframes it does. So, where is it receiving the number from? Say I wanted the cents to land on 21.. how would I do that?

[Dan Ebberts]

You’d have a keyframe with angle that ends in .21

Hi Dan,

I need to add a dollar sign to to the following digits $1,292,788. I’m using this expression below

startValue = 0;
endValue = 1292788;
dur = 8.5; //seconds

s = "" + Math.round(linear(time,0,dur,startValue,endValue));
if (s.length > 6)
s.substr(0,s.length-6) + "," + s.substr(-6,3) + "," + s.substr(-3,3)
else if (s.length > 3)
s.substr(0,s.length-3) + "," + s.substr(-3,3)
else
s

This is one way:


startValue = 0;
endValue = 1292788;
dur = 8.5; //seconds
s = "" + Math.round(linear(time,0,dur,startValue,endValue));
if (s.length > 6)
s = s.substr(0,s.length-6) + "," + s.substr(-6,3) + "," + s.substr(-3,3)
else if (s.length > 3)
s = s.substr(0,s.length-3) + "," + s.substr(-3,3);
"$" + s
