Is this like a loading animation that accelerates or something?

What i understand you want to do:
Layer one becomes invisible when meets the checkbox. Other 4 layers follow at a given delay(your frameRate). You want to modify this framerate over the time? You also want to modify the cycle time to fit the new “frameRate”?

Am I correct in my assuptions?

Try this

dur = 1.5; //Duration of the cycle
cycles = 5; //Cycles, obviously :D
(time-inPoint < cycles*dur) ? (time-inPoint)%dur : (time-inPoint)-(cycles-1)*dur

Hey. Even though i don’t fully understand the expressions from the text animator(they seem odd to me, compared to the ordinary ones), i came up with this. I am sure it can be somehow simplified, but it ain’t stupid if it works, right?

I add a text animator for position, set it to aproximately half the width of the comp plus the width of my text layer.
add expression selector, based on lines, with this expression:

thisSign = (textIndex%2 == 0) ? 1 : -1;
dur = 5;
thisTime = Math.max(framesToTime(dur) - (time-inPoint),0);
val = linear(thisTime,0,framesToTime(dur),0,1)*100;
thisSign *val

I tried to determine a way to make 0-100 within my duration and then i added a + or – sign to make it go the other way.

I’m not sure why you want them to be different layers. Could you not give the text this value?
data.phone+ "·"+data.location

myIndex = 3;
if (thisComp.layer(“Text 1”).text.sourceText.split(“”)[myIndex-1] == “e”)
100
else
0

If you create a new text layer and don’t name it, it takes as name the source text value. Is not this how AE works? Or maybe i just did not understand what you asked.

Add this to the anchor point. I hope this is what you are looking for

var left = sourceRectAtTime(time,false).left;
var top = sourceRectAtTime(time,false).top;
var myWidth = sourceRectAtTime(time,false).width;
var myHeight = sourceRectAtTime(time,false).height;
var x = left;
var y = top + myHeight;
[x,y]

So keyframe all and put them at the same start. Then add this to the keyframed propeties.

sTime = key(1).time+index*framesToTime(5);
eTime = sTime+(key(2).time-key(1).time);
linear(time,sTime,eTime,key(1).value,key(2).value )

Maybe put this expression and set the values for the slider from 1 to 3.

myValues = [30,65,100];
h=Math.floor( thisComp.layer(“Nulo 2”).effect(“Slider”)(“Deslizador”));
[value[1],myValues[h]]

Do you have multiple color control effects on the layer “Controls”? Like “Color 01”, “Color 02”, “Color 03”? If yes, your expression should be like this.

CS = Math.round(comp(“Main”).layer(“Controls”).effect(“Swatches”)(“Slider”).value);
comp(“Main”).layer(“Controls”).effect(“Color 0″+CS)(“Color”);
