    Can we animate objects through scripting like we do in after effects  as if the wiggle expression ?

    You can script animations as but you'll need to know a little VB.net and it really depends on what you are trying to achieve. 

    If you want to do a wiggle I recommend using continuous animation or waveform block in visual logic.

    Hi Simon!

    Found this one again through searching.
    And yes, this works well with a Continuous Animation, possibly with two tracks for position x and y set to random waveform to create a shaking effect.
    However, is is possible like in AE to refer this back to a "slider"?

    I've used invisible elements to do like a percentage animation based on heights etc, but it seems I cant access the "Amplitude" value of the continuous animation through for example visual logic? I probably can in VB, but was wondering if there's a way to go from shaking 0% to 100% (a set max value amplitude) shaking over time through Visual Logic.

    Ohhh, and I'm testing this in XPression 9.5 atm. If this is possible in a later version, that's great. I just dont have access to it here.

    Rather than Continuous animation you can use waveform block in Visual Logic, you'll see you can connect items to properties such as amplitude.
