Question
Parent Text Style AND Source Text?
Short and sweet: I'm looking to parent both the sourcetext STYLE and sourcetext VALUE between comps. I have the elements here:
srcLayer = comp("Basic Appearance_Social Media Lower Thirds").layer("Template 1st Line");
style = srcLayer.text.sourceText.style;
text.sourceText.style
.setText(srcLayer.text.sourceText)
But no matter how I do this, I can only ever get half the desired result: in this configuration, the sourceText gets parented, but not the style, and if I put the "style" line below, I get the reverse--the style gets parented but not the sourceText value.
I'm sure the answer is absurdly simple (as they usually are in these situations) but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Help???
