'Dumb' Lua question

[garry23]

I hope David (Lua guru) is watching and can put me out of my misery, once again!

'All' I'm trying to do is access (get) and then change (set) an ML sub/sub menu item, "Shoot", "Advanced Bracket", "Frames" eg I can get to Advanced Bracket, but how do I get/set Frames?

Code Select Expand

i = menu.get("Shoot", "Advanced Bracket")


I've tried many different things.

Hope some kind person can help?

Many thanks. I naively followed the language in the Lua 'manual', which says:

Code Select Expand

get (menu, entry)
    Get the value of some existing ML menu entry
    Parameters:

        menu name of the parent menu ('Audio', 'Expo', 'Overlay', 'Shoot', 'Movie', etc)
        entry name of the menu entry

    Returns:

        the value of the menu entry

I had some kind of head start: http://magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=14828.msg160996#msg160996

Once again many thanks for the pointer.

I have successfully got what I wanted to do up and running, i.e. my landscape focus bracketing now has an option to carry out exposure bracketing at each focus step.

Cheers
