This should work.
a =thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").transform.yPosition
max = 0;
for(i = 1;i<=a.numKeys;i++){
if (a.key(i).time <= time) max = Math.max(max, a.key(i).value);
}
max

Maybe you delete the comp/layers used in those expressions.

I think what you are looking for is in this document on page 7. However, i recommend you take a look at the whole document, plus this other one.

So i guess what you are saying is that you want to use wiggle plus the position expression for the coloured rectangles. You can not have two values for an expression. After effects just takes the last value. So the first thing that came to mind was to add the wiggle to the expression on the previous line. Did that, but it moved the shape out of my screen. Wondering why it did that, i tried figuring how wiggle works. So aparently wiggle takes the raw value of the position and plays with them. Just substract the position value at the end. It seems to work. So the whole expression would be this.
t = thisComp.layer("my_text");
tRect = t.sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
tUL = t.toComp([tRect.left,tRect.top]);
tLR = t.toComp([tRect.left+tRect.width,tRect.top+tRect.height]);
tCenter = (tUL + tLR)/2
myRect = sourceRectAtTime(time,false);
myUL = toComp([myRect.left,myRect.top]);
myLR = toComp([myRect.left+myRect.width,myRect.top+myRect.height]);
myCenter = (myUL + myLR)/2
delta = myCenter - tCenter;
value - delta+wiggle(10, thisComp.layer("Slider 1").effect("Slider Control")("Slider"))-transform.position

Andrei to the rescue. In order to have a multiline expression between quotes, you need to use triple quotes. This should work:
a = 1;

fad = eval("""if (time < (inPoint + outPoint)/2){
ease(time,inPoint,inPoint+a,0,100);
} else 0;""")

if(thisLayer.name == "Station"){
fad;
} else 0;

You are a lifesaver. I fell like Smeagol receiving the ring :D. And a bonus. React package is awesome. The batch comman did not work like this though, i had to replace the HTML-code \ with the actual character. Just saying this, in case anyone else has the same problem. Thanks a lot man! I owe you big time!

Check the scripts at redefinery.com . There is one called rd_GimmePropPath which i use daily. In order to have the names that you need, you create a shape in AE, select the circle/square/whatever and use this script. Make sure to check the Match Name in the script GUI. You can use those names to later add the objects by scripts.

Is this what you are looking for?
delay = .03;
myDelay = delay*textIndex;
t = (time - inPoint) - myDelay;
if (t >= 0){
freq =3;
amplitude = 100;
decay = 6.0;
s = amplitude*Math.cos(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t);
[s,s]
}else{
value
}

The expression is not mine, I have it from a project I bought a long time ago, so I guess its an anonimous author.

Try replacing second layer s with s = thisComp.height - (d/width)*100 or if your layer has the anchor point on the bottom,
with s = transform.position[1] - (d/width)*100

Thanks for that sir. Great information. But that is not what i was talking about. I know that you can use the Atom text editor to run scripts directly from the editor. I wasn’t talking about expression. Just like you hit that play button in Extendscript. I hope you understand what i mean.
