I was trying this sort of thing in 'values' but it just breaks:
{
@{parent.variables}TypeA: 1,
"B": 2,
"C": 3,
"D": 4,
"E": 5,
"F": 6
}
You are not giving us a lot to go on here @BillTribble. What are your parent.variables? I'm assuming that you're trying to pluck out just one and map it into a single switch key but there's not enough in your post for me to offer any advice.
OSC is a bit picky with advanced syntaxes in keys, for now the reliable way to go would be (assuming @{parent.variables} returns a string)
JS{
var values = {}
values[@{parent.variables} + "TypeA"] = 1
values["B"] = 2
values["C"] = 3
values["D"] = 4
values["E"] = 5
values["F"] = 6
return values
}
Ahh thanks JE! Format needed was a bit different? Experimentation revealed this:
JS{
var values = {}
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundA}] = 1
values["B"] = 2
values["C"] = 3
values["D"] = 4
values["E"] = 5
values["F"] = 6
return values
}
Now I just have the problem that some of the switches are showing in the wrong place!
'Off' should be first in the list (it's LabelFoundA)
JS{
var values = {}
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundA}] = 1
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundB}] = 2
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundC}] = 3
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundD}] = 4
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundE}] = 5
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundF}] = 6
return values
}
"LabelFoundA": "Off", "LabelFoundB": "Trip", "LabelFoundC": "-8", "LabelFoundD": "16", "LabelFoundE": "OffB", "LabelFoundF": "Dot"
(the above used in a clone object)
Well yes it depends on the contents of variables
Now I just have the problem that some of the switches are showing in the wrong place!
Another subtility now with numbers as keys (-8 and 16), which you can avoid by forcing them to strings this way:
JS{
var values = {}
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundA}] = 1
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundB}] = 2
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundC} + " "] = 3
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundD} + " "] = 4
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundE}] = 5
values[@{parent.variables.LabelFoundF}] = 6
return values
Perfect, many thanks!
you need to define the listed variables in the parent. The panel that contains my switch looks like this:
Thanks but that's what i did no ?
The parent of my switch is root. So...
You wrote in the root's value property, should be variables.
yep i did this... 
Now let's say i want to store this variables into a variable script called conf
How to get the values ?
@{conf.foo} would return the property foo of the widget with id conf, You should write @{conf}.foo (retreives the value and then the property foo in that object).

okay but can't figure out how to get the keys of the object.
i want to have "foo" and "other" as label for the switch and not the value stored.
i'm lost in syntax.
There may be a better built in way but Object.keys is probably what you're looking for. As in:
JS{
var v= [];
v[0] = @{conf.comments};
v[1]= Object.keys(@{conf})[0];
v[2] = Object.keys(@{conf})[1];
return v;
}
