Knob filmstrip via script

[ustk]

I am having a hard time to set a knob filmstrip by script:

Content.setPropertiesFromJSON(id, {
          "filmstripImage": "{PROJECT_FOLDER}knob.png"
        });

So I tried to add onInit:

Engine.loadImageIntoPool("{PROJECT_FOLDER}knob.png");

with no success, the pool stays empty...

@ustk Obvious question but where is your knob.png file located?

[ustk]

@d-healey in the Images folder as usual, and it's working if I want to load an image for a paint routine for instance
Thinking it could be a bug...

@ustk and shouldnt it be:

MyKnob.setPropertiesFromJSON("filmstripImage": "{PROJECT_FOLDER}knob.png");

--well maybe "id" is the id of the slider, but I'd try the simple method first.

in fact wouldnt it then be:

id.setPropertiesFromJSON("filmstripImage": "{PROJECT_FOLDER}knob.png");

@Lindon Thanks, but the method is good I think, I am always using it this way, but it is the first time I try a filmstrip
In fact, the JSON is updated, so it should work:

Oh that's not it, even the values min -100 & max 36 are in the JSON, but the actual knob stays at a value of 0-1
The property editor shows all the good values so it is taken into account, but the knob itself doesn't refresh... Strange...

@Lindon

MyKnob.setPropertiesFromJSON("filmstripImage": "{PROJECT_FOLDER}knob.png");

Both methods are correct according to the docs. This method is the most logical one to use if you already have a reference to the control stored in a variable.

@d-healey Ok so all the parameters are now working, I just forgot something obvious (the stepSize which was at 0...) But the image still doesn't load

[ustk]

Stupidity... Again...
@d-healey You were right asking for the folder, it was in the good one, but wrong project...

@ustk we call that a PEBCAK
