I've had to make some substitutions since the code you sent doesn't  
run (missing classes VMImage and VMImageFrame), but I think the main  
problem is that you never initialized the data target to any  
particular value. The main change I made was just to initialize it to  
0.5 (arbitrarily picked):

	@in_vals = {
		:u_1 => FXDataTarget.new(0.5)
	}

When I do this, both the text field and the slider start out with this  
value, and changing either the text field or slider value updates the  
data target's value as expected.

Hope this helps,

Lyle
