[Closed] Custom Attributes and assemblies

Does anyone know why the dropdownlist will not remember its selection? (if i set it to “fizzle” deselects the assembly and selects it, the list has reset itself to “boom”)
(the script is pieced together from the mxsref)

the script is:

weaponDataCA = attributes weaponData
 
 


(parameters main rollout:params

 
 
 


([indent]hitPoints type:#float ui:hits default:10

 
cost type:#float ui:cost default:100
sound type:#string 


)

 
rollout params "Weapon Parameters"
(


[/indent][indent]spinner hits "Hit Points" type:#float

 
spinner cost "Cost" type:#float
dropdownlist sound_dd "Sound" items:#("boom", "sparkle", "zap", "fizzle") 

on sound_dd selected i do
 
 


([indent]sound = sound_dd.items[i]

 
hide $box02


)

 


[/indent])

 


[/indent])

 
object1 = Cylinder() --create a cylinder
object2 = Box() 
object3 = OmniLight()
obj_array = #(object1, object2, object3) 
new_ass = assemblyMgr.assemble obj_array name:"Test01" classDesc:Dummy
custAttributes.add $Test01 weaponDataCA 

another thing that puzzels me is how i can hide / unhide parts of the assembly when having multiple assemblies in the same scene, is there a way to access assembly-subparts like
hide assemblyname.objectname?

Thanks
