Hey guys http://www.highend3d.com/boards/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

Here is what i want to do...

I have node in the scene called File1 (File texture node) ...

I have a polygon plane called TexturedPlane...

I want when a texture in File1 is loaded,polyProjection to be aplied to the polygon plane...

First of all i don't know the attribute's name ... is it File1.ImageName or File1.imageName or File1.image_Name...bla bla

So when that attribute is different then empty string polyProjection to be aplied to the polygon plane...

Please help guys http://www.highend3d.com/boards/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

if you don't know about attribute names or hidden attributes just have a look at the maya help pages under nodes. there you'll find the file node and it's first attribute "fileTextureName (ftn)".
good luck!

you'd use the scriptJob command to execute a defined script whenever an attribute changes:
scriptJob -runOnce true -attributeChange File1.ftn [SCRIPT-TO-EXECUTE];
