Can I use a numeric control to change the shown index of an array?

[plyons.gks]

Hey folks,

This might be one of those questions getting the "why would you wanna do that?!" reactions, but I'm wondering if there's a fairly simple solution I just dont know about...

I know arrays aren't exactly gems when it comes to UI applications, but with my particular application if I could get a numeric control to be used to set which index of the array is shown, that would be awesome.  Also, assuming thats possible then I'm thinking I could figure out how to have two booleans that would increment/decrement the shown element while updating the numeric too...

Any ideas?

Any input much appreciated!

thx

YES.   precisely what I was looking for. Kudos to you!!!

I had tried something similar but missed the build array...

much thx!!

I'm curious.  why not just show the index display.  it even has increment and decrement arrows?

I want to have the numeric and booleans trigger event struc frames... there probably a bunch of ways to pull this off though...

I exactly thought about the same thing Jeff.. But it was like a Rubed code so I enjoyed doing it. 🙂
