From: David Torno <AE-List@media-motion.tv> Subject: Re: [AE] long string of random nimbers Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2019 11:47:47 -0700 To: After Effects Mail List <AE-List@media-motion.tv> You are better off making a string of numbers instead of an actual number that will naturally hit limits as you’ve found. If you want random then this should work... //—————————— var n = [“0”,”1”,”2”,”3”,”4”,”5”,”6”,”7”,”8”,”9”]; var nLen = n.length-1; var len = 100; //Length of final number var result = “”; for(var i=0; i <= len; i++){      result += n[Math.random(0, nLen)]; } result; //—————————— My random syntax might be off, but give that a try.
