sorry, had some little failures in my text … sorry, i meant “textcolor”

i tried to say, that i only have an expression on the layer, that says “footage(“test9.json”).dataValue([9])” but there was no data that i can use to pick my color from.

thanks to your answer, i erased the quotation marks from the array and now i got some nice usable data ☺
thanks dan

okay solved the problem now with a Slider from 0 to 100, some expressions and a linear-function

p1 = thisLayer.height-thisLayer.height;
p2 = thisLayer.height;
p0 = thisLayer.width/2;

slider = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
linear(slider,100,0,[p0,p1],[p0,p2])

i combined that expression with a linear wipe and got a nice drop in animation without an extra Matte Layer.

but my second question is still standing, can i define the value of every keyframe i set in my expression?

brilliant as always, Mr. Ebberts ☺ thanks so much

thanks Dan,

maybe you can help me with a similar expression? i’ll post it underneath. i have a layer parented to a second layer. when the “master” layer moves left, the “slave” layer rotates with a positive value, when it moves left, it should rotate to a negative value. at the moment i have an if/else driven checkbox expression. maybe there is a way to somehow combine the expressions?

(i hope my english is good enough to make my case clear).

if (effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox")== 1){
r= -1 ;
}else{
r= 1 ;
}

x=thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").transform.position;
(x.speed/30)*r
