is there an "init actor"?	Can't Post

Hi, just made my first performance with izzy. Beside sound and video I am controlling the lights on 16 channels via tcp/ip and a lanbox. Works really fine.
I was just wondering, if there was an easier way to init the light channels in the different scenes.
Right now I am adjusting the light via slidebars, switch to program mode, and type the values in my lanbox actor into the init window. Works, but is a bit of a pain in the a..ir. Is there any actor, that could do this for me?
Something like: I control the slidebars and as soon as I want to save the value to the init file I ....press a button, that triggers an "init actor" for me ?
If this is to weird, why?
Best regards from Denmark,
Tom

If you route the slider inputs to your LanBox inputs, then these values should be "in" the actor. It will not, however, make the document "dirty" and enable the "save" option. (Save As... is always available though.)

[you may want to read this discussion on this very topic http://forum.troikatronix.com/...a_table_actor_P2278/

But Isadora always saves the values inside an actor when you leave a scene.

So, if you make some modifications with your sliders, and then either choose Save As or move an actor so something to make the document dirty and _then_ choose save, the values you recently input into the various actors will be saved.

how about feeding a trigger value actor the slider input and then have an enter scene actor trigger them next time you open?

maybe too simple?
