I’m having a hard time getting my on selected to work…I dunno what I’m doing wrong, and I’m pretty sure it has something to do with scope…Is this something that can be easily solved? I want all the additional interface elements to appear once the user selects custom in the dropdown. If they select anything besides custom then the rest should be invisible. But its not doing it

you called “selected” event wrong… check the fix
thats embarassing lol…thanks!
Is there anything in the above code that would prevent the .LightName parameter of the helper from having the value of the currently selected dropdownlist item? All my values are readable except that one. I’m tempted to have a hidden edittext box and in my on selected action, I copy the value to that, but that seems excessive… Any ideas?
