hi !

[maya 2012 win7 64]

string $colorNinetyDegNode = `createFileInNode`;
setAttr ($colorNinetyDegNode + ".mxBrightness") 20;


global proc string createFileInNode()
{
    shadingNode -asTexture file;
    string $nodeNameArr[] = `ls -sl -fl`;
    $name = $nodeNameArr[0];
    return $name;
}

if I am using this code to create a fileIn node, I cannot directly set the maxwell image controls attrs. But once I set the value manually (there's a little hiccup too), also the MEL code works.

there seems to be a refresh issue.

can I somewhat refresh that fileInNode via MEL so I can bypass this issue ?

thanks for any input !

Use the maxwellSetCustomScalar() function to set the value, as described here and here.
