scripting question: link expression in script
Hey!
I’m new to scripting and can’t get my first code done.
Within my script I’ve been able to create 4 slider to the text layer, but can’t get my expression into the “soure text”.
this is the expression I want to write in there:
startT = effect(“StartFrame”)(“Slider”);
endT = effect(“EndFrame”)(“Slider”);
beginVal = effect(“BeginVal”)(“Slider”);
endVal = effect(“EndVal”)(“Slider”);
t = linear(time,startT,endT,beginVal,endVal);
t.toFixed(0)How do I tell program to write that in the “source text” expression
help pls?

That would look something like this:
var myTextLayer = app.project.activeItem.layer(1);
var myExpr = 'startT = effect("StartFrame")("Slider");\r' +
'endT = effect("EndFrame")("Slider");\r' +
'beginVal = effect("BeginVal")("Slider");\r' +
'endVal = effect("EndVal")("Slider");\r' +
't = linear(time,startT,endT,beginVal,endVal);\r' +
't.toFixed(0)';myTextLayer.property("Text").property("Source Text").expression = myExpr;
