GUI with sliders that change opacity on multiple layers

Hello! Total new guy here. I have an action that creates a document with a background layer and two layers above it. I would like to add an end step that creates a GUI with two sliders, each slider controlling the opacity of the 2 layers above the background layer, IE the first slider controls top layer opacity, second slider controls middle layer opacity. It would be ideal if this previews in real time as you move the sliders. Is this possible?
Thanks!
Zach

yes, by using a script that runs at the end of the action.

This is a bit difficult to do
so no it is not possible.

it is possible !
check this out
Code: Select all
var dlg = new Window("dialog{text:'Script Interface',bounds:[100,100,561,269],\
iwtfkhamhc:EditText{bounds:[16,16,444.95,94] , text:'Your text goes here' ,properties:{multiline:false,noecho:false,readonly:false}},\
button0:Button{bounds:[17,102,117,122] , text:'Save' },\
button1:Button{bounds:[236,101,336,121] , text:'Cancel' },\
button2:Button{bounds:[345,101,445,121] , text:'Whatever' },\
slider0:Slider{bounds:[18,138,173,148] , minvalue:0,maxvalue:100,value:0},\
checkbox0:Checkbox{bounds:[190,133,261,154] , text:'Checkbox Text' },\
dropdown0:DropDownList{bounds:[299,134,443,149],properties:{items:['Select One']}}\
};");
dlg.slider0.onChanging = function (){
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.opacity = dlg.slider0.value;
}
dlg.show();
this will change the opacity of the active layer, you can create two sliders and make them control the opacity of the required layers by pointing to these layers by index instead of
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.opacity
good luck
