Any good JavaScript reference will do, you just have to ignore the stuff that’s specific to web pages. I like “JavaScript the Definitive Guide” by David Flanagan.

Unfortunately you can’t control kerning or font selection from an expression. You can control tracking, line spacing, scale, and fill & stroke color though.

Yup, split is what you want. Assuming your words are separated by carriage returns, you could use something like this to pick out the word “cat” from your example:

s = thisComp.layer(“layer 2”).text.sourceText.split(String.fromCharCode(13));
s[1]

Like this:

p = thisComp.layer(“object B”).position;
[value[0],value[1],p[2]]

Try this:

start = 0;
vanish = 1000;
linear(position[2],start,vanish,100,0)

Adjust start and vanish to suit.

Are the layers 3D?

This should work:

C = thisComp.layer(“Camera 1”);
lookAt(C.toWorld([0,0,0]),position)

But did you try just turning on Auto Orient > Orient Towards Camera?
