trigger point of expression

[Tom]

Looking for the code to trigger an expression with a layer marker.

I have the code that triggers the expression with key frame number,

t=time-key(3).time

but woulfd prefer the flexibilty of the marker.


My level of understanding allows me to read, understand (maybe) and modify the code; however, I am not at a level where I can write it.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

This should work:

t = time - marker.key(1).time

If you have AE CS3, you can also index the marker via its comment, like this:

t = time - marker.key("marker comment here").time

BINGO!

"If you have AE CS3...", AE 6.5 or AE 7.0

Damn - that's right. You need CS3 to retrieve the comment field but not to use it as an index.
