the objects im referencing are in every frame- maybe not all in first frame if thats what you meant... i see those in the first frame are being referenced, but not others... i can drag them into frame 1 and check [ok] i see that works
Like I said, it reads objects' altVals from the "base frame", which I guess is frame 1 by default. But you can change it to whichever frame you want.
