I am trying to run the example from [https://plot.ly/r/shiny-coupled-events/](https://plot.ly/r/shiny-coupled-events/) but I keep getting the error ''x object not found".  
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hey @lgondara

It runs fine for me. Perhaps, try updating plotly:

`install.packages("plotly")`

or for the development version

```auto
if (!require(devtools)) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ropensci/plotly")

```

Thanks @bcd. I figured it out. It was a stupid mistake.
