Position of a text layer is dependent on decimal/size of another text layer
So I have attached a slider to control a specific text layer but I was wondering how I can make the position of another text layer be affected based on how large or how many decimal places the original text layer is. To put it simply I would like the 2nd text layer to always have the same amount of space from the 1st text layer.
As in the example I would simply like the word Views to butt up against the number with the same space no matter how large the number gets.

numberPosition = thisComp.layer("number").transform.position;
distance = thisComp.layer("Null 1").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
tempY = numberPosition[1];
tempX = numberPosition[0]+distance+thisComp.layer("number").sourceRectAtTime(time,false).width;
[tempX,tempY]The first 2 variables should be “pick-whipped”. First is the position of your counter layer and second is the distance you want to aquire. Both layers should be left aligned.
Another way would be to mjust make one solo layer. If you have an expression for your number, you should add ” views” to its value. Something like
value + " views";Andrei
