Hmmm… now that I think about it, this is probably better:

if(comp(“Comp 2”).layer(“Layer 3”).enabled) 90 else 100

This should work just fine:

if(comp(“Comp 2”).layer(“Layer 3”).active) 90 else 100

This expression (for a text layer’s source text) gives the name of the source of the current active layer (if it has no source it gives the layer name). Apply to a text layer at the top of the layer stack.

txt = “”;
for (j = 1; j <= thisComp.numLayers; j++){ if (j == index) continue; L = thisComp.layer(j); if (! (L.hasVideo && L.active)) continue; if (time >= L.inPoint && time < L.outPoint){ try{ txt = L.source.name; }catch(err1){ txt = L.name } break; } } txt Dan

I think you could save yourself a lot of trouble if you set the cube up centered at [0,0,0] with the faces parallel to the xy,xz, and yz planes (you can position the camera off-axis later). Then you’re just dealing with equations for circular motion in two dimensions.So, in the xy plane you’d be dealing with something like:

[Math.sin(angle)*radius, -Math.cos(angle)*radius, zOffset]

where you supply the variables angle, radius, and zOffset. The other expressions would be similar.
