Beginer :connect slider to a variable!

[slumberlander]

Hi i m very beginner in Mel scripting and i have some problemes finding infos...scuze my english by the way.

I managed to script a window displaying a slider and an apply button. 

in an other hand i have that script witch does things with booleans operations

My question is how to connect the floatSliderButtonGrp of my window with the float variable of my script

and how shall i do to make the apply button to trun my script?

the script use three polys to build two mortise and tenon (male female slot thing)... 

like so, step 1:

 step 2:

 here is the code for my window:

Code :

{

    string $window = window "tenons et morteses";

    columnLayout;

    floatSliderButtonGrp -label "jeu mortese"

     -min 1.065 -max 1.2 -value 1.07 -step 0.01-field true/*this is the slider i want to connect with the $espace variable*/

     -buttonLabel "apply" -symbolButtonDisplay true /* this is the button who should run my script*/

     -columnWidth 5 23;

    showWindow $window;}

here is the mortise and tenon script :

Code :

    {

        string $maSelection[]=ls-selection;

        string $tenon[]=duplicate $maSelection[2];

        float $espace = 1.07;// this is the variable i want to link to the slider of my window.

     

     

      polyCBoolOp -op 1 -ch 1 -preserveColor 0 -classification 1

     -name male $maSelection[0] $maSelection[2];

     select -clear;

     select $tenon;

     scale -r $espace $espace $espace;

     select -clear;

      polyCBoolOp -op 2 -ch 1 -preserveColor 0 -classification 1

     -name female $maSelection[1] $tenon; //$maSelection[2];

    };

thank you for your help...

Something like this - itll need some fine tuning

global string $slideIt[];
global float $espace;

window -w 400 -h 150 -s true -title "SlideBalls" -iconName "slideBalls" slideBalls; 

string $slideIt = floatSliderGrp -min 1.065 -max 1.2 -value 1.07 -step 0.01-field true -dragCommand "doSlide"; 
showWindow; 

global proc doSlide()

{

global string $slideIt;

global float $espace ;

$espace = floatSliderGrp -q -v $slideIt;

for ($xyz in ("x", "y", "z")){
setAttr ($tenon+".scale"+$xyz) $espace;
} 

}
