I have a cluster of slide controls, and I want to change several properties of the slides in the same way relative to each other. I know how to change the properties using a reference to a single slide control, but I'm not sure how to get there from a reference to their containing cluster. The attached picture shows some of the properties I can edit using a direct reference to one of the slide controls, and the options available when I try to work down from a reference to their containing cluster. Please advise if what i am trying to do is actually possible. Thank you. James Message Edited by James Mamakos on 06-17-2009 11:29 AM

Use the "To more spesific class" function on the "ctl" reference inside your for loop. You can find it under application control. To the "Taget class" input you wire your slider reference (or a slider reference constant)

Referencing FP controls within a cluster.

Solved!

As I have never used that kind of constant so I had to test it, and it works just fine.

So that seems to be a workaround.

//Edit:

Ah, yes - the difference in version could be it. 8.6.1 here.
