Hey Casey,

Sorry I never did figure it out, I worked around it. My file was created in After Effects and saved as a swf, I had then done some work on it in Flash and wanted to save that work and edit it in After Effects. I ended up using my original After Effects file then re-exporting it a SWF and added the flash stuff again. That probably doesn’t help you at all (sorry), but it you find out how please email me.

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks but this doesn’t work it still gives a random wipe. There is some kind of a built-in expression under “transition completion” controlling this, so I can animate 0 to 100% but it doesn’t make it change directions.

This is the expression:
transComplete = effect(“Card Wipe Master Control”)(“Transition Completion”);
linear(transComplete, 0, 33, 100, 0)

However, I did figure it out by using an animated gradient layer that moves from right to left, (I had to disable the built-in expression under “Flip order”) and calling out “gradient” then the layer name. Now it works basically the way I wanted.

Thanks,
Bill

I thought there was a simple setting I missed with card wipe. I reopened the file and now I’m able to select using a gradient, but it still won’t work!

No I haven’t tried shatter, but I’ll give it a try…

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks Aaron,

I’ve enjoyed the podcasts for sometime now and appreciate all the work you’ve done in producing them.

Thanks, and good luck in the future!
