Looking at the code again, you actually don't need to go the approach of passing an argument. The global "amp" should work. You just need to not be futzing around with it. Get rid of the three commented out lines. They do you no good. Ben Root On Wed, Dec 17, 2014 at 4:06 PM, Benjamin Root wrote

I have a simple oscillatory animation with a parameter "amp", which I control with a slider. The control works (when I do a mouse-drag on the slider bar), but the slide bar never actually changes it's position because the reset call fails. I don't see why the global statement should have any effec

the reset() method is meant to return the slider back to its initialized value, that's it. I suspect what you are having difficulties with has to do with your use of a global variable "amp". It is going to be completely unlikely that updates to the slider's "val" attribute would actually be updati

[This post might appear twice, if so, I apologize. The first version is flagged that it has not been accepted yet] I am controlling a simple animation with a slider, successfully. A mouse drag updates the parameter correctly but the slider-bar position is not updated. If "samp" is a slider, the c
