OK, I'm trying to make a countdown from 2008 AD - 33 AD
I have a text layer and am generating the dates (2008 -33) with a slider on a null object:

Source Text
thisComp.layer("Null").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");

Is there a way to add the "AD" text to the end of the dates being generated with the slider?
Thanks for your help!

This should do it:

Math.round(thisComp.layer("Null").effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value) + " AD"
