Ah, OK. There’s another JS incompatibility hidden in there. Try it this way:


txt = text.sourceText;
zws = "\u200b";
idx = 1;
i = 0;
n = 0;
while (idx < textIndex){
if (txt.value[i] == "\r"){
i++;
continue;
}
if (txt.value[i] == zws) n++;
i++;
idx++;
}
n%2 ? 100 : 0

Try changing the last line from:

if (n%2) 100 else 0

to:

n%2 ? 100 : 0

Ah, OK–slight change:

eval(text.sourceText.value)

Try it this way:

eval(text.sourceText)

You can use Math.max() to compare multiple values, like this:

Width = Math.max(a.width, b.width, c.width, d.width);

That should help simplify things.

I think if you replace textIndex with:

((textTotal – textIndex)+1)

it should go backwards.

Try this:

[thisComp.width,thisComp.height]/2

Hmmm….OK–try it this way:

txt = thisComp.layer(“Text 2”).text.sourceText;
tracking = thisComp.layer(“Control”).effect(“Tracking”)(“Slider”);
fontSize = thisComp.layer(“Control”).effect(“Font Size”)(“Slider”);
createStyle().setFontSize(fontSize).setTracking(tracking).setText(txt)

Try this:

txt = thisComp.layer(“Text 2”).text.sourceText;
tracking = thisComp.layer(“Control”).effect(“Tracking”)(“Slider”);
fontSize = thisComp.layer(“Control”).effect(“Font Size”)(“Slider”);
newStyle = style.setTracking(tracking);
newStyle.setFontSize(fontSize);
newStyle.setText(txt);

You can’t control .active (or the eyeball) via expressions. It’s read only. I think you’re stuck with Opacity.
