I am trying to create a graphic that has lines that hug the 4 sides of a box. So as it scales in either direction the lines move with it automatically. Go here for an example
i did this one by just keyframing it.
So I was messing around with the position expressions of the lines.
i came up with these.
left line
temp = thisComp.layer("Royal Blue Solid 1").position[0];
[thisComp.layer("Royal Blue Solid 1").scale[0]*-3.6+360, position[1]]
Bottom Line
temp = thisComp.layer("Royal Blue Solid 1").position[1];
[position[0], thisComp.layer("Royal Blue Solid 1").scale[1]*2.7+270]
the other 2 are the same with negative numbers plugged in, so with these expressions, as i scale it, all the lines stay connected to the box.
So here is my question, is there a way to adjust the expression so that the lines will also follow the box if i move it around the screen. Right now it works great as long as the box is centered on screen. As soon as i move it the lines stay where they are.
