Expression - Comp Name turns check box on or off

[mgiannamore]

Hey I'm trying to use a comp name to determine the opacity of a certain layer using expressions and I can't get it to work! I'm still very new to expressions and javascript, I was wondering if someone here might know the answer...

My code:

Under Checkbox:

on = effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox");

compName = comp("nbc. new year's eve").name;

compStation = compName.substring(0, ".");

n = "nbc"

if (compStation == n) {

on == 1;

} else {

on == 0;

}

Under Opacity:

visibility = effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox");

if (visibility == 0) { opacity = 100; } else {opacity = 0;}

I don't know much about coding but I can tell you that your "==" operators in these two lines is wrong.

They should be single "=".

Double equals compares or querys values.

Single equals set value.

As Gutter-Fish said, you are using the logic operator ==, not the assignment operator = .
