I haven't gotten a response to this question in the main MC board, perhaps it's more suitable here.
I'm trying to edit a visualization using Visualization Studio. I'm trying to replace the display of the ALBUM field with the contents of a custom tag field I've created in MC 10 (ALBUMS). But VS doesn't seem to recognize ALBUMS as a variable, and just tags a capital S onto the end of the the contents of the ALBUM variable at the time (for example, Abbey RoadS when ALBUMS contains Abbey Road).
If I go into the .mjv file of the visualization that's the one I'm trying to modify, I see where the text section begins and the script calls the string variables (at least that's how I think of them) ALBUM ARTIST NAME YEAR but I don't see those variables defined anywhere. I'm guessing they must be defined somewhere, but where? And how can I add my custom fields to the definition?
If I put CUSTOM_1 as a text variable, that text doesn't show on the screen, so VS is recognizing it as a variable, but how do I point the variable to the field whose data it's supposed to contain?
Any help would be appreciated...its been quite a while since I did any real programming and I just don't want to learn whatever the visualization plugins are written in, I just want to tweak them a little.
Thanks

I would also love to be able to define custom variables, i know that it is somwhere in one of the sdks but i don't know which one or how to go about editing the info.
