Answers.Text: I know to rename them, though do you know if the "Slider" portion can be renamed? It seems weird that every built-in slider property has a unique label, but I can't rename these. I suppose it doesn't matter if there can never be multiple in one FX control.

Answers.Text: No, there's no easy way to rename the "Slider" portion. I looked more into the ScriptUI reference, though, and it does look as though you could create what you are talking about using a little bit of JavaScript programming. Depends on how much you'd care to tidy up I suppose!

  No that is not possible, as far as I know. (Tho perhaps it could be with a little programming, [using the ScriptUI API.](http://jongware.mit.edu/Sui/index_1.html) Here's the [complete reference](http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/scripting/pdfs/javascript_tools_guide.pdf).)
  
  However it is possible to rename the "Slider Control" and "Slider Control 2" labels to something more useful to you. That's what I usually do. Just click on the name and hit Return on the keyboard to rename.
