    okay, first of all sorry for my bad english…

    i’am using afx 7.0 pro. and for this one with ccsphere.
    i’ve got an realy big landscape animation with an motion trail. first of all you’re very close und there are 3 names of citys. later on you’ll the the complete path (or trail). but you can’t read the citynames anymore.

    i want to parent die textscale to the radius of ccsphere. but i wan’t the text to scale up, whenn the radius increases.

    i hope you’ll know what i mean

    Apply a text animator for scale to your text layer. Keyframe it to your liking or use this simple expression to connect it to your Sphere radius:


    sphere_size=thisComp.layer(“Sphere”).effect(“CC Sphere”)(“Size”);
    sphere_min=0; //minimum allowed size of sphere
    sphere_max=10; //maximum allowed size of sphere
    text_min=0; //minimum allowed scale of text
    text_max=150; //maximum allowed scale of text

    text_size=linear(sphere_size,sphere_min,sphere_max,text_min,text_max)

    [text_size,text_size]

    You may wanna check how the size parameter for CC Sphere is really labeled, since I don’t have AE open as I’m writing this.
