Unable to setValue() in a Slider

Question

Hello everyone!I am currently working on a project that needs to memorize certain values. So I tried to do this by writing them into a Slider but however I try it, there always is the error that ".setValue() is not a function". I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I can read the value at any time, but there seems no way to change it. Here is the line:thisComp.layer("Regler").effect("EndeG")("Schieberegler").value;                    works!thisComp.layer("Regler").effect("EndeG")("Schieberegler").setValue(1);          does not work!Can someone explain that to me, cause in other (older) forum discussion they said, that this definitly should work.Thanks in advance!Dan

You'll get an error like that if you try to use setValue() in an expression. It only works for scripting, not expressions. Another possible issue is that an expression can't affect the value of another property. It can only alter the value of the property hosting the expression. Also, expressions have no memeory, so any value generated by the expression won't be accessible to that expression on other frames.
