text strings
I’m crashing on a project this weekend… hopefully someone will see this! 🙂
Linking expressions using layer and comp names.
This is easy:
>
n1 = thisComp.name.split(” “)[0];
comp(“MASTER PERIODIC TABLE”).layer(“MASTER CONTROL”).effect(n1)(“Color”)
>My layer name is “11 Na Sodium”. (Doing a fancy science anim.)
But what if I need my effect in MASTER PERIODIC TABLE to be “11 Na COLOR.”
How do I string together text snippets and add the world COLOR?
>
n1 = thisComp.name.split(” “)[0];
n2 = thisComp.name.split(” “)[1];
comp(“MASTER PERIODIC TABLE”).layer(“MASTER CONTROL”).effect(???????????????????????????)(“Color”)
>Thanks MUCH for any help.

Thanks to one of Dan’s earlier posts I found the answer. THANKS DAN!
n1 = thisComp.name.split(" ")[0];
n2 = thisComp.name.split(" ")[1];comp("MASTER PERIODIC TABLE").layer("MASTER CONTROL").effect(n1 + " " + n2 + " ind COLOR")("Color")
