There’s a little fly-out off the info palette where you can change how colors are shown numerically. Sounds like you need to set it to “8-bpc(0-255)”

That particular MM script is one of the things that doesn’t translate well to expressions. It’s because expressions can’t have persistant variables so the expression has no idea what its value was on the previous frame. And the spring calculation really needs to know where everything was on the previous frame. With MM, the calculation for the entire timeline is done all at once, it’s not an issue.

George Polevoy posted a good solution to this back in 2003 I think. Search the archives and you should find it.

Everything you need should be in here somewhere 🙂

var myLayer = app.project.item(1).layer(1);
var myMask = myLayer.property(“ADBE Mask Parade”).property(1);
var myProperty = myMask.property(“ADBE Mask Shape”);
var myShape = myProperty.value;
myShape.vertices = [[5,5],[5,45],[45,45],[45,5]];
myShape.inTangents = [[0,0],[0,0],[0,0],[0,0]];
myShape.outTangents = [[0,0],[0,0],[0,0],[0,0]];
myShape.closed = true;
myProperty.setValue(myShape);

This should do it:

myInteger = parseInt(myString);

This script will do what you want. It assumes your layer is selected:

var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var myLayer = myComp.selectedLayers[0];
var myCurrentPos = myLayer.property(“position”).value;
myLayer.property(“position”).setValue(myCurrentPos – [0,10]);

Your minPosition and maxPosition variables need to be two dimensions, like this:

minPosition = [0,0];
maxPosition = [100,100];

They could be any x and y values, they just need to be in the brackets.
