Error when using valueAtTime on a trim path end

Question

Hi,

I have about 100 shape layers that I want a trim path on, and for them to be offset by x amount over time so the first starts, then the next follows and so on. Whilst I could keyframe this and then sequence the layers, it becomes a big faff if I want to change the delay amount. I'm using:

Adobe After Effects 8.0 Keyframe Data

var tP = thisComp.layer(index-1).content("Trim Paths 1").end; //a 'leader' shape layer above

var d = thisComp.layer("Controller").effect("Time displacement")("Slider"); //a slider on a null

tP.valueAtTime(time-d);

I'm getting 'add() needs 2 arguments on the first line. and AE seems ok with it someimtes, and not at others. I can sometimes scrub through and see the value change as expected, but not the image, sometimes it just gives up. What is happening? Any input greatly appreciated, thanks!

Drill into the layer and shape grouzps. quite likely you are simply seeing a repeat on the automatic numbering somewhere when it goes past 99. Mylenium
