Yea, it's another one of my stupid questions... :P

I'm simply trying to set the width of an object to a private variable of another. I've got SpeedControl.Value(speed) but it says "speed is an unrecognizable system expression or usable object name".

What am I doing wrong?

("speed"), or ('speed'), perhaps?

Your welcome. It helps to just think of anything that you make a name for as needing quotes, like "Layout One", image point "point", and then anything that's not a string with single quotes, like global.variable('toggle'), etc.

However you can get away using some named things without quotes if you name them as numbers IE image point 1, but everything you use letters for must use quote, or double quote.
