Dan, thank you so much! I had another expression that was removing the text value. Works like a charm!

I guess I would like to understand more about wha the seedRandom() method does. Is there any information on this anywhere? The help files are pretty sparse.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the reply and the code!

Guess you’ve said this a million times by now. I noticed in other forums you’ve answered this same question. Thanks for your patience!

For some reason the code below causes the layer text to disappear after frame 1. Am I missing another step in using this correctly?
Comp set up – 640×480 10 seconds

seedRandom(index,true);
x = Math.floor(random(thisComp.width));
y = Math.floor(random(thisComp.height));
z = Math.floor(random(-300, 300));
[x,y,z];
