From JS, is there a way to reference an existing object in the patcher by its Scripting Name (e.g. "toggle1") and then change that objects state (e.g. 0/1)?

I figured out how to see the patcher name this way, but can't figure out how to get the objects inside.

var p = this.patcher;

// show patcher name
post(p.name);
post();

// show patcher attributes
for (var a in p) {
    post(a);
    post();
}

The JS code below doesn't work, but I wonder if there is a way to reference objects within the patcher like this? I used to do something like this in ActionScript, but but can't find the equivalent within Max/Msp for nested objects.

var p = this.patcher;
for (var o in p.objects) {
    if (o.name == "toggle1") {
        o.value = 1;
    }
}

var maxobj = this.patcher.getnamed(“foo”)

var maxobj = this.patcher.getnamed(“foo”)
maxobj.message(1)

Thank you Tyler!
It's even easier than I thought.
