Sliders backward engineering how to update and instantly display results

1. For each of the top "sliders", I would create a display-only object with states. Each state includes the line, blue rectangle, and text box with reference to a variable and text box (for "Low Fund", etc.). The line color and text box change. For example, for states 1-4, it's red; for 5-9 it's yellow, etc. Adjust the position of the blue rectangle and variable reference. Then create an actual slider, with no track, and a transparent bitmap as the thumb fill. Place that slider over the display-only object and adjust the slider parameters and dimensions, so they match the object underneath. Finally, create triggers that change that of object-XYZ to state <> when slider moves and slider_variable=<>.

2. Make sure you reset the total variable, before recalculating.

See attached a rough example with two sliders.
