Hi Declan,

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your help.

Hi Declan,

Thanks very much but I still can’t get it to work. Kevin had me insert this for percentages:

effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”).value.toFixed(0)+”%”

But I changed it to: effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”).value.toFixed(0)+”Miles” for Miles or “Km”
if I needed to show a decimal counter counting up a distance.

That text that you gave me…where would it be inserted in this script:

effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”).value.toFixed(0)+” Miles” Before? After? within???

Hi Kevin,

Sorry to bother you again. Can you just tell me how to insert commas into my figures in the expression.

Tried searching the cow forums, but can’t figure out how to simply add commas to my numbers:

e.g. 12567890…12,567,790

[Nick Natteau]

Thanks very much Declan, yes that’s exactly what I meant…the characters shifting slightly left/right

The font that was doing this is “KP Duty” – a stencil font downloaded from “myfonts.com”

KP Duty.

Not sure why that particular font would do this when animated in a decimal counter expression.
But yes, some appear to do it while others don’t. But thanks again.

Declan, I tried left, center, and right, but certain fonts just seems to do that regardless of whatever justification I choose.

[Nick Natteau]

Thanks Kevin and Declan. I just discovered that this issue happens with certain fonts and not others.

It seems to happen with fonts I downloaded from sites like “dafont.com” and “myfonts.com”, not with any Mac OSX fonts. Good to know. But thank you both for your help and will follow your recommendations.

[Nick Natteau]

Excellent Kevin, thanks so much. But how can I get the font not to move. As the numbers climb in value they’re moving left to right to left to right. I was hoping to get the number characters to stay in place. Isn’t it osme kind of dynamic kerning issue possibly???

[Nick Natteau]

Thank you so much Kevin. It worked! If I might just ask you one more follow up:

I need for my percentages to diplay as “2.60% instead of “3”. I need the double decimal option.

[Nick Natteau]

Thanks very much Kevin. I feel dumb asking but can you tell me what slider value you’re referring to and where would I find it??? I don’t see a slider in the source text area, just a stop watch.

Thanks very much Johnny!
