so stoked!

arghh! right.

i had done that before, but before i'd made all the switch objects, so it was giving me errors.

let's see how it goes now

ok... i have redone what i wanted to do.. and i hoped that this would work. but no luck. i have 16 rows of switches, and i have globally defined an array full of references to all those switches: all_switches={'Switches_1', 'Switches_2',....'Switches_16'} each switch has a variable 'brightness ...

awesome. yeah....i understand ( i hope)

woo!

i got it!

sorry about the noise and silly comments....Macciza, your method is exactly what i needed

oh....!

just made a global function by typing 'global_function(x)' and that worked

please ignore my stupidity

i'm learning lemur and script coding both at the same time.

by the way, i know in this case it would be much easier just to send the Fader_1.x value directly to the monitor... but this is just an example patch, which demonstrates what i wish to achieve. I need to learn this process: ie, how to declare global functions and then use them inside my faders ...

but...i thought functions didn't take arguments?

can you have a look at my patch and modify it so it does that???

Hard to explain this without the patch, so i have attached it here. in 'global_function()' , I have this line: Monitor.monitor_value = getexpression(Fader_1,'x') + 1; but i don't want "Fader_1" in there, i want something like getobjectparent()... so that my global function can be called by any ...
