My project settings was set to “Legacy ExtendScript”. But the new version still does not work, even after I have set the project to “JavaScript”.

But the first expression still works perfectly 🙂

[Craig Kristensen]

Andrei to the rescue again!
Thanks Andrei, it worked perfectly. Although the first expression did not work in AE 2020, but the second expression worked like a charm!

Thanks again!
Stay safe.

[Craig Kristensen]

This is a long shot. But can you change the style (regular, bold, italic) also, using this method?

[Craig Kristensen]

Ah, I see what you mean.
THe latest version works perfectly and fixes the “enter” issue.

Thank you again Andrei! You have been super helpful!
Cheers,
Craig

It seems to work perfectly… I’ll put it through some testing and see how it handles it.
Thank you so much Andrei!
This is SUCH a big help!

[Craig Kristensen]

Wow Andrei ! That works exactly as intended!
Will I be able to add an if/else statement to this as well?

If textB is n’t in the textA, then is simply colours the first x amount of characters instead.
I think an if/else could fix this?

cheers,
Craig

Works perfectly!

Is it possible to use a Layer Control to select layers in a different comp?

[Craig Kristensen]

I have been trying to get something like this to work.
I have a text layer that reads the value of the Layer Control using:
thisComp.layer(“— SELECT”).effect(“Selector”)(“Layer”).name

And then using this on the opacity for each layer to check if the “FRANCHISE NAME” equals the name of the layer. If so, “then opacity = 100”
ifi(thisComp.layer(“FRANCHISE NAME”).text.sourceText = (“thisLayer.name”)) 100 else 0;

But I’m having some syntax troubles.
