I am trying to write an expression that forms a word by randomizing the position of each character. If I use the expression selector I can randomize the amount of position offset per char but not randomize the actual position of each char.

Any ideas?

You could use multiple layers with a single character in each layer.

I thought of that except for I am building an editable toolkit so I won't know how many characters there will be each time. This is why it would be great to be able to do it within a text animator since it is flexible on the number of characters.

Dan Ebberts gave me the solution:

Add an Expression Selector with this expression:

seedRandom(textIndex,true);
random([-100,-100],[100,100]);


then animate the position from whatever offset I want to zero.

Thanks Dan!
