problem with an expression (that works in other composition)
hello guys,
i have a problem applying an expression, that otherwise works in a different situation in a different comp.i have a layer named “Icon options”. in this layer there are some sliders named “1”, another named “2”, “3” and so on
i have another layer named A,and this layer has a slider named “Opacity number”.what i’m trying to achieve is to link the opacity of the layer A to the slider named “1” or “2” or “3” this way:
– in the layer A i want to assign the number i want in the Opacity number slider, let’s say 2
– then i want to use the slider named “2” from “Icon options” to modify the opacity for the layer Aso i’ve tried
try{
NAME=Math.floor(effect(“Opacity number”)(“Slider”));thisComp.layer(“Icon options”).effect(NAME)(“Slider”);
} catch (err) {
x=[0]
}in this point, i’m getting the zero value from the fact that it gets an error. if i remove the catch err, i’m getting this error: Class “Effect” has no proprety or method named “Slider”
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance -

oh, i’m using the same expression ive used in other comp, with variations, that looks like this
try{
NUME=thisComp.layer(index).name;
x = Math.floor(comp(“WORK AREA”).layer(“COLOR US STATES”).effect(NUME)(“Slider”));
comp(“WORK AREA”).layer(“COLOR SCHEME”).effect(x)(“Color”);
} catch (err) {
x=[1,1,1,1]
}here is linked to a color fill
