  • Replicating shapes in a SINGLE shape layer plotted on a graph.

    Ok, I am stuck. I need some help. Its a test and I am trying to figure this for awhile.

    I have a graph, coded on a path (borrowed the code and it works fine). What I am trying to accomplish is placing a symbol (point, square, etc.) at the points of that graph, using a SINGLE shape layer with multiple content shapes.

    I get this far. I place this in the CONTENT position of the shape:

    for(var i = 1; i < 3; i++){
    myLayer = thisComp.layer(“GRAPH: COAL Line [1.” + i + “]”).position;
    mark = content(“Ellipse ” + i);
    if(mark) {myLayer};

    But i cannot get it to replicate along the graph. The duplicates only show on one point.

    Please help.

    Thanks in advance.
