Go Up One Level in the Property Hierarchy Using Variation of "thisProperty"

[Amozza]

I have a Position text animator applied to a text layer and want to use the End range value as a variable on the Position property within the Animator (not the Position property of the layer). I don't want to name the layer or Animator explicitly so I can duplicate it and not have to edit.

So in my screenshot (below), I have the variable declaration:

multiplier=thisProperty.selector("Range Selector 1").end

But I realize "thisProperty" points to the Position property because that's where the expression is. Is there varition on "thisProperty" to say "go up to the next property in the hierachy"

I hope that makes sense. Thanks

You use propertyGroup() to go up the hierarchy. Try it this way:

multiplier = thisProperty.propertyGroup(2).selector("Range Selector 1").end;

Thanks Dan. It works perfectly!
