This is really handy – but would be even greater is if a Slider Control could be used so the numbers could be controled by keyframe. I can’t for the life of me figure it out. I tried the following but I’m getting an error. An ideas?

numDecimals = 2;
commas = true;
dollarSign = true;
beginCount = -1999;
endCount = 1999;
dur = 4;

t = time - inPoint;
s = effect("Counter Control")("Slider").toFixed(numDecimals);

prefix = "";
if (s[0] == "-"){
prefix = "-";
s = s.substr(1);
}
if(dollarSign) prefix += "$";

if (commas){
decimals = "";
if (numDecimals > 0){
decimals = s.substr(-(numDecimals + 1));
s = s.substr(0,s.length - (numDecimals + 1));
}
outStr = s.substr(-s.length, (s.length-1)%3 +1);
for (i = Math.floor((s.length-1)/3); i > 0; i--){
outStr += "," + s.substr(-i*3,3);
}
prefix + outStr + decimals;
}else{
prefix + s;
}
