    I have four text layers. I want one to be on while the others are off. Tried using a time offset expression but that is not working. Perhaps animating a mask might work but was hoping to find an expression that does.

    That’s not very specific. Please provide more info about the behavior you’re looking for.

    I found the solution. I simply used a slider control and an if then expression on all the text layers. Simply changed the value on the slider control every second.

    val = Math.floor(thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Index”)(“Slider”));
    if (val==index)
    { 100 }
    else
    { 0 }
