Add or remove effect parameters

$

Hi

Does anyone know if it is possible to add or remove effect parameters after the initial PF_Cmd_PARAM_SETUP event?

I would like to be able to select a number of items to add to the animation using one parameter, then generate a number of colour pickers with a default colour for each item but giving the user the oportunity to customise the colour. You could almost image it's like drawing a chart in excel - you get a default colour for each dataset, but then you probably want to customise each one or some of them yourself.

 

I saw this thread about changing popups http://forums.adobe.com/message/3274585#3274585 and the reply was that it's not possible so I'm not very hopeful.

 

My only other option would be to limit the number of items and create that many hidden parameters which could then be unhidden when the number is selected. This isn't ideal as there could be a few hundred items, but often might be less than 10 so it seems a bit of an unwieldy way to do it.

 

On a related note - can I change the name of the parameter after the initial param setup event or is this too fixed?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Phil
