Using a slider controller to select specific values/numbers

Hi Francis,

I think I understand what you are trying to achieve and I have opted for a different solution. I've outlined what I did below but glossed over the why. If this doesn't work or you would like any of this explained further please let me know.

1. Create an Adjustment layer and add a Slider Control effect.

2. Create a text layer and input a single character.

3. To the text layer, from the Animate flyout menu add Character Value.

4. To the text layer, add an expression to the Character Value and paste the following code…

var theMatrix = [39,45,58,61,95,96,124,168];

var theSlider = thisComp.layer("Adjustment Layer 1").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");

var theMatrixPosition = Math.floor( (theSlider/100) * (theMatrix.length - 1) );

theMatrix[theMatrixPosition];

Dragging the Slider Control on the Adjustment layer will move through all of the values input into the variable called theMatrix. Be sure to keep the slider values between 0 and 100 (inclusive) or you will get an error.
