I'm having a fun time figuring out a scripting problem and = thought I would ask the advice of the script gurus on the = list.

Basically I want to add 2 = sliders then get the value of those = sliders.

var RED_Slider =3D = selectedLayer.Effects.addProperty("Slider = Control");
var red =3D = RED_Slider(1).value;

var GREEN_Slider =3D = selectedLayer.Effects.addProperty("Slider = Control");
var green =3D = GREEN_Slider(1).value;

If I run the code above, it = works great however if I change the order and assign the sliders first = then try to get the value, AE gives me an "invalid object" = error.

So the code below will not = work.

var RED_Slider =3D = selectedLayer.Effects.addProperty("Slider = Control");
var GREEN_Slider =3D = selectedLayer.Effects.addProperty("Slider = Control");

var red =3D = RED_Slider(1).value;
var green =3D = GREEN_Slider(1).value;


It's almost as if when I add the = Green Slider, it forgets the Red = Slider.

Any = ideas?

Cheers.

Phil
