Setting horizontal position of a layer in one comp from null object in other comp
Hi All,
I need help with a very simple expression:
I want to use a null object in a comp as a simple slider to control the horizontal position of a targeted layer in a separate pre-comp.
I used the pic whip on an expression for the position attribute of the layer I want to move and selected the X coordinate of my null object. This creates this expression:
temp = comp("s7_LLangle3_stable_comp").layer("Null 1").transform.position[0];
[temp, temp]The problem is that when I slide my null object, it changes both the X and Y position coordinates of my target. I only want X (the horizontal position) to change.
What do I need to change in the expression so that it only affects the X position of my target layer? I’m sure it’s super simple and I’m already close.
Thanks for your help!

Try changing the last line to:
[temp, value[1]]
