Adding chases to Master Page Scenes

Hi there,
i'm having a strange problem, to keep things simple, i try to explain it in an easy setup. I've got a whole page just for my conventional lights, now, when i try storing chases (saved in switches) from this page in a master page scene, sunlite won't save this chase. it's not recognized at all, sunlite just creates a blank scene. trying to store a chase (made with easy step, easy time, chase-thingy doesn't matter, tried everything) to an existing master page scene makes sunlite turning the lamps in the chase to full on, completely ignoring the chase again - even worse

this is kind of strange and i'm sure i'm missing something basic, so could anyone please help me out?
the basic question is: how to store a switch containing a chase (a simple par64-chase, though that should not change anything, i guess) correctly into a scene on the master page...
thank you very much

From the Master page, "Button" menu and "New scene", then "As you see now"...of course the switch must be ON in the sub page.

Hi Bruno,
yes, that's the way i did it. it didn't work.
meanwhile i found the problem: sub-pages heavily using dmx-in signals don't seem to be liked that much by sunlite. the problem that chases on those not recognized in the master page only occurs with sub-pages using dmx-signals. so to be clear: not the entire sub-page uses dmx-in, but some of the channels do, the other ones are just using intern sunlite chases and functions. these are the ones i'm trying to include into a master page scene. doesn't work. is this working as intended? am i doing something wrong? any advise? it's a great feature working with a dmx-in signal and i really don't want to give it up. and, please, don't say: create more sub-pages, as the patch i'm working on is so weird and old and unchangeable, it would be a pain.
thank you in advance, greetings,
jan

hi again,
and, forget it, i found the problem, i think... the subpage not working was just very old and once merged from several different sub-pages, which led to strange behaviour, i think. i just created a new one. it's working now, yippie!
