I had been able to get this far

Problem is I need to edit an expression on an object other than this
param. As a result I need the path of that object and then add the
Camera name to the expression. I’ve been completely unable to retrieve
the Model and object path which is necessary to make this work.
This is the expression:
SetExpr("GlowSphere.GlowSphereSurface.kine.global.sclx", " GlowSphere.
MyProperty12.Size * ctr_dist(GlowSphere.GlowSphereSurface, Camera. )",
null);
Camera needs to be replaced with param as in, but the GlowSphere
(Model) name may be different and needs to be acquired prior to
editing and included in the edit
SetExpr("GlowSphere.GlowSphereSurface.kine.global.sclx", " GlowSphere.
MyProperty12.Size * ctr_dist(GlowSphere.GlowSphereSurface,”+param+” .
)", null);
The PPG belongs to the Model but I’ve been unable to extract the Model
as a Parent to the page.
Thanks

Find your parameter:
myParam = PPG.MyParam
Set the expression:
myExpr = "blah / 2 * myCameraName"
myParam.SetExpression(myExpr)

Thanks.
I’d already started building the property page via the wizard and
formatted the expression with the “this_model” reference. I’ve got
the button and entry line set up in the property page but it’s
been so long since I’ve done anything like this I can’t seem to
remember how to force the expression rewrite through the property
page’s code.
Ideas?

I would go with Eric's approach. Surely have done this before. If
I find that script I will post a snippet.

You'll probably have to script this. Type in the name of the
camera in the text area, have a button next to it to run the
script to do a find and replace in the expression.

Hello,
I have an expression. Part of that expression points to a
camera.
I’d like to have that reference point to a Custom Pset
parameter where I can provide the name of the Camera in
the parameter.
I tried this with the Camera name as Text, but it doesn’t
work. Apparently it can’t resolve the object name that way.
There will be multiple expressions, each pointing to the
same Camera, I wanted to make this easy to edit the Camera
name and have it propagate to all the expressions.
How would I do this?
