Number Counter Expression not working properly

Hi all! 

 

I have this expression entered for a simple number counter and it is working for any numbers from 0-199 but once it gets to 200 it changes to 20. From 200 to the number I want (332) it periodically changes the numbers to be two digits instead of three. 

 

Here is the expression I have: effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(0)

 

It will jump from this:

To this:

Then back to this:

Is there any way for it to count normally or is this a bug from the new AE update?

Your expression works fine. Is it possible that you're using a box text that isn't quite wide enough for the widest numbers?

It would help us help you if we saw your expression. 

 

If you are generating the numbers with an Expression Control Slider, this expression will work:

num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value;
num.toFixed()

You must be doing something more complicated than that.

Thanks so much, it was just that simple fix. As all of us designers know, sometimes it's the easiest fix.
