Thanks David, That's essentially the solution that I used. Since every variable is different (some have ranges in the hundreds, while others have ranges in the ten-thousandths) I evaluate the default value of each variable, and multiply accordingly.
Meanwhile, however, if the Slider has a native way of handling this, I'd sure like to know what it is! -Jim --- In [email protected], David Steele <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Jim -- > > Looks like you're really going from 89 to 1000 if we lop off a few zeros. :) > > The slider has a labels array propery, which is an array of strings. So why not multiply your variable values by 1000000 -- you'd then effectively show the values moving from 89 to 1000. Your minimum value would be 89; your maximum would be 1000. The corresponding *labels*, though -- the numbers that appear on the slider -- you could set to be .000089 - .000100 > > Hope this helps, > > David > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Jim Robson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, January 9, 2007 8:41:51 AM > Subject: [flexcoders] Maximum Precision of a Slider?
