multislider bug

Floating Point's icon

when in non-continuous mode, on a mouse click multislider outputs its list twice-- once on mouse-down, once on mouse up--not good! mac os10.8.5

thanks-- shouldn't be necessary though!

I think it's a feature.

...a feature which is noticeable if you click on a slider, drag it, and then let go. The second output represents the current state. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, of course.

... sure, but that "feature" 's functionality could be implemented using zl reg at the output of the multislider, which would be in my mind more consistent with UI programming generally in max, but if it's intentional, then I guess its a moot point

Looking for a solution to the same problem - in the documentation it says there's a contdata argument you can use to set only mouse-up functionality:

0 = 'Mouse-Down/Up' ( Output on Mouse-Down and Mouse-Up )
Output when the mouse button is pressed and again when it is released.

1 = 'Mouse-Down + Continuous Data' ( Output on Mouse-Down and Mouse-Drag )
Output when the mouse button is pressed and dragged.

2 = 'Mouse-Up Only' ( Output on Mouse-Up Only )
Output only when the mouse button is released.

But in the inspector, the contdata argument is set using a checkbox, meaning it can only be 0 or 1. How do I set this argument to 2?
