is there any possibility to access the #0 number from the patch above?

I know it's possible to give #0 as argument to a subpatch, but is there any other possibility?

one way would be to send a [loadmess #0] out of your subpatch into the main patch. from there you can store and use it as you see fit.

I mean the other way. I've got several abstractions and I need the #0 from the parentpatcher inside them; but I don't want to use #0 as argument to the abstractions, nor using in/outlets.

Is there any smart solution (perhaps some javascript?)

but then of course its name (foo) can not be initialised - unless you use another #0 for it :)

You can also use pattr, where you loadbang the #0 into a pattr, and have another pattr in your subpatch bound to the pattr in the parent patcher, using the @bindto attribute.

Here is an example patch with a handful of the argTest abstractions:

.. but isn't there any simple javascript for accesing #0?
