Get original value of a property 'before' the expression is executed!
by peter menich on Jun 27, 2008 at 2:10:31 pm

Hi All,

So I have an expression that changes a layers position.

But I want to link another layer to its position (from another comp, so no parenting possible) before the expression was added.

Is this possible?

A kind of 'get the position value of layer X as if the expression wasn't really there' sort of thing.

I could write an expression that reverses the original expression, but its really complicated trigonometry expression and my brain won't take it!

I'm hoping there's an easier way

cheers

Pete
