For some reason, I can't seem to set the id of a LiveAPI object with a variable. I want to set observers on several properties of the same object. I want to get the id of the object only once, and set it directly after that (to avoid putting in the path and slowing down the system every time). Any ideas why this code doesn't work? Thanks,

// foo.id and fooId.id are reported as 1 foo = new LiveAPI(this.patcher, "live_set","tracks",0);

// this one works, bar.id is reported as 1

// this one doesn't work, bill.id is reported as 0

function test()
{
   // foo.id and fooId.id are reported as 1     foo = new LiveAPI(this.patcher, "live_set","tracks",0);
   fooId = foo.id;
   post("foo id is",foo.id,"n");
   post("fooId is",fooId,"n");

   // this one works, bar.id is reported as 1
   bar = new LiveAPI(this.patcher);
   bar.id = 1;
   post("bar id is",bar.id,"n");

    // this one doesn't work, bill.id is reported as 0
   bill = new LiveAPI(this.patcher);
   bill.id = fooId;
   post("bill id is",bill.id,"n");
}


cant-set-the-id-of-a-liveapi-instance-with-a-variable

Figured this one out. LiveAPI takes a number for id, but returns a string. So, bill.id = parseInt(fooId) works.

Can't set the id of a LiveAPI instance with a variable?
