Right you are – turns out inPoint and outPoint are (case sensitive) reserved words.

Also functions can reference global variables, so you don’t need to specify arguments like in my example.

Thanks!

Ah, bollocks. Also, the music video’s been cancelled too, so it’s even worse. Silver lining in knowing what I can’t do though, so thanks.

A quick question popped up while I was trying to clean up the code. I get “function inPoint is undefined” when AE interprets the following. Is there some kind of scope issue I haven’t run into yet? I’m pretty sure functions can’t use globals, hence the inputs named to avoid confusion, but I’m stumped on this snippet.


function inPoint(cR, idx){
if (cR > ((idx-2) * 100) ){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}

//Determines if the layer should be visible and sets the opacity accordingly [extra conditionals removed].
if ( inPoint(camRate, index) && outPoint(camRate, index) ){
//some code
}else{
fadeAmount = 0;
}
fadeAmount
