Replacing the Array Index with a slider

[Michael Aivaliotis]

Here is a brief tutorial (with pictures) on how to replace the index control in an array. This is useful when you want to provide a user friendly interface to the array control or you want to create custom front panels using the array control as a main component.

Right-Click on the border of the control and select Customize from the menu

Click on the wrench Icon to break apart the control

Click on the index control so it is selected with a dotted line around it. From the menu select customize which will bring up another control editor window for the index cotrol.

Now from the right-click menu you can replace the index control with any other numeric object, in this case a slider.

Now you just close the control editor window, don't save the control, just say yes to replacing the old index control.

The final product.
