maxscript access spinner inside a function

Mrfred

Hey, I'm pretty sure it's pretty easy and I'm missing something easy
but i'm unable to access a spinner value inside a function

try (destroyDialog blablabla)Catch()

Rollout blablabla "Ablablabla"
(
spinner Spine_Spn "B:" range:[3,5,3] pos:[345,115] width:  50 type:#integer
fn a b = 
(
	print b
)
a Spine_Spn.value

)
CreateDialog blablabla width:  560

how can I access Spine_Spn.value inside my function. I'm using the print function to test and so far i'm only getting undefined errors. I guess it's all about declaring it at the right moment

You can't execute code in a rollout definition. It needs to be inside of an event. Like a button press, or on open.

try (destroyDialog blablabla)Catch()

Rollout blablabla "Ablablabla"
(
	spinner Spine_Spn "B:" range:[3,5,3] pos:[345,115] width:  50 type:#integer
	button btnPrint "Print"
	
	fn a b = 
	(
		print b
	)
	
	on blablabla open do
	(
		a Spine_Spn.value
	)
	
	on btnPrint pressed do
	(
		a Spine_Spn.value
	)

)
CreateDialog blablabla width:  560

You can do this too:

try (destroyDialog blablabla)Catch()
fn a b = 
(
	print b
)
Rollout blablabla "Ablablabla"
(
	spinner Spine_Spn "B:" range:[3,5,3] pos:[345,115] width:  50 type:#integer
)
CreateDialog blablabla width:560

a blablabla.Spine_Spn.value

Though I recommend the method monster posted.

Bassically what I do here is call the spiner in the rollout blablabla
