aenhancers

Hello,

I am trying to write an expression that assigns particular colors onto particular letters when you type them. I don't have much experience with AE expressions, and I can't figure out what is wrong. For example, I want "A" to be red, while "B" should always be blue. The expression below is my attempt. The result I get is the entire sentence becomes blue. It must not be recognizing this on a letter by letter basis. Any help would be great.


//code to change individual letter colors

//capital A
if (text.animator("Animator 1").property.characterValue = 65)
{
text.animator("Animator 1").property.fillColor = [1,0,0,1];
}
//capital B
if (text.animator("Animator 1").property.characterValue = 66)
{
text.animator("Animator 1").property.fillColor = [0,0,1,1];
}



Thanks,
Justin

See my reply at CGTalk. Please do not cross-post in the future. It's inefficient and will only cause confusion. If nobody else, I'll be around regularly at CGTalk, so you don't need to be afraifd that noone will hear you... ;o)
