Arguments to reference who sent message in JS function
In JS is there a way to get the name or object reference of who called the function? If I have a message box named “Bert”, is there a way to grab that name/reference say in a function anything()? This is regarding directly connected and non connected js objects.

Hello maxers,
Have you try something like that ?
function anything()
{
var a = arrayfromargs(messagename,arguments);
post (a[0],”n”) ;
}
Perhaps, i don’t understand your question, in case : please post a patch to explain your problem.
Salutations.

Javascript doesn’t know how objects are connected together so this isn’t currently possible. The workarounds are to either use a different inlet or to [prepend name] the value so you can target it with a global funcyion.
