This may be a strange question but i have a loop where i would like to pull an alterable value which is in condition set by loop index into a string.
I used the loop indexed alt vals in the same condition, it worked great for what i used it, but now i just want to juicy it up a bit, if anyone doesnt know what im talking about its when u press edit in expression editor when doing condition to alt value, you can set a number of the alt val instead of picking a defined alt value.
But how can i do that in the expression editor in action, where i cannot set alt value to be picked by loop index, is there any command in the expression editor to get to it.? Or isnt? dunno if this makes much sense.
Make sure you have updated MMF2 to the latest stable release R248. I can't remember when this functionality became available but I am sure it doesn't come with the version you'll find on a cd or in the demo. You can then choose an alterable value by index in the alterable values menu.
AltValN( "ObjectName", IntegerIndex ) is the correct syntax.
I think perhaps you're all talking about retrieving a value, which is not what he's looking for.
As far as I know, you cannot set a value by index, but I could be wrong.

Sure you can. When setting the alterable value, there is a big button next to the alterable value dropdown box saying "use expression"
