Hi

I don’t have a full code, but maybe this will help you.
I would create three different panels, within the one.
Something like this. “pal” is the base of your panel, how you get that is depending on how your script is put together:


//Subpanels:
var panel1 = pal.add("panel", [x, y, x+width, y+height], "panel1");
var panel2 = pal.add("panel", [x, y, x+width, y+height], "panel2");

//Add dropdown:
var dropdown = pal.add("dropDownList", [x, y, x+width, y+height], ["label1", "label2"]);

//Add event handler for dropdown:
dropdown.onChange = function()
{
switch(dropdown.selection.text)
{
case "label1":
panel1.visible = true;
panel2.visible = false;
break;
case "label2":
panel1.visible = false;
panel2.visible = true;
break;
}
}


Code is untested, but should be about right.

The expressionist looks great, but I havn’t tried it yet. For longer expressions and scripts, I always use sublime text. It works really great with almost any kind of script.

Sooo.. Sometimes when you post after 2 hours frustration you figure it out 5 mins later. 🙂

This is the solution:

l("Contents")("Group 1")("Contents")("Ellipse Path 1")("Size").setValue([300,300]);

I would still like to hear about that reference though.

That works. Thank you. 🙂

Had the feeling, that would be the only way to do it. I was hoping for a more clean way to do it though.

But thanks, again. You seem to be the one who answers all my questions no matter which forum. 🙂 I appreciate it.

It’s a script, not an expression.
