sorry

i already have expressions that calculate distance values and values based on rotation of certain objects relative to the camera and so on. i want diferent words to appear based on the conditions defined by the other vaules, i guess using if and else logic.

i (thanks to this forum) managed to get the number effect to generate a dynamic counter that can display these values in the comp.

all i really want to know is whether there is a way to control the content of the normal text via expressions; with the numbers one its obvious where to put the expression because the value is keyframable anyway. with the text one i can see no place for the code, though i vaugely remember reading another thread where someone had done it.

am i on the wrong track altogether?

thanks for your responses,

Alex

sorry, i didnt make it clear,
i wanted the actual content of the text to be defined via expressions depending on various paramaters related to other elements in the comp
