It works Dan, thank you. However, when generating the keyframes it assumes the kerning of the first character in the string and applies to the rest. So when I edit the text to something like 1.990 it gives all characters the kerning of the “1”. This is awful since I’d need to adjust the kerning differently for different cyphers so they look good. But as before I think respecting the given kerning to a text string is not possible for a script right?

Ok, I thought so. What I’m trying to do now is applythis effect to two layers at.once. I created variables for both layers selected and their sunsequent source text variables for each one. Then I didn’t know how to modify the If statement to manage both sets of data at once so I duplicated the if statement and made it handle the variables for.the second layer but when I ran the script AE froze everytime. Any thoughts on how to work around this?

Oh gosh!! what a terrible dead end I was in. Thanks Dan.

Oh!! It’s simple paragraph text. Does it mean I can’t use expressions to load paragraph text?

I finally got it working Dan, thanks for all your help. I still need to have it load ok from the “window” menu but the important functionality works as desired. I find it a nice piece of medium complexity code I wouldn’t have come up with without your help so despite the fear of being boring, thank you.

Hmmm the third option is very simple. I’d use it in future coding no doubt. My prior attempts used the second option, so maybe the thing was creating variables for the source, the text prop and for the user input. Do you remember you helped me setting up a code for a font style change for this same script? Thats the last part of the code that is not working right now. I’ll keep on working around it but perhaps I’ll need help with that again. I wish I knew what I’m doing so I didn’t have to pest this boards this often. I’ve found programming kind of fascinating but it works parts of my brain that were never active I guess. So the poor guy is fighting against stupidity/inactivity.

For crying out loud it finally worked!! Thanks a lot Dan. the only difference I see however is the use of the “ADBE…” attributes. So that must be what made it work!!

Thanks Dan…

Is it ok to assume that myTextDoc.text is a edittext field made a variable?

Hello again Dan, right now I’ve managed to collect the info from the user input ok but haven’t been able to modify the source text of the layer. Can you guide me a little? I’ve tried many ways using the language of the method that worked for me before. Back then I made my source text layer a variable as well as the user input and then:
myText.setValue(input);
that worked before but right now it returns “undefined” as every other method I tried. Thank you.
equipo.onChange = function(){equipo = this.text;}aplicar.onClick = function(){
eqText.setValue(equipo);
}
