I'm doing my first javascript attempt in max. I read javascriptinMax 

guide, but didn't find anything that seemed useful.

I wonder if it's possible to make an array in javascript, and connect 

it to coll (or some other data storage object), so that I can write, 

read and change data in both in max world and javascript?

frequent, so i'm trying here, too.

Yes, output the array with the data and the index in the same format 

as you would package data in 'max land', and connect the two.

so make your array, and something like (in psuedo code)

which would output for an array containing array{a,b,c,d,e,f)

which would overwrite the data at the index. If you wanted to clear 

the coll before, just do an outlet(0, "clear") before your for loop. 

Perhaps there is a better way, but thats how ive been doing it.

for (i = 0; i

	outlet(0, i, array[i]);

ok, so actually i have to manually dump/update both array and coll 

is there any way to have javascript and max share the same array and 

update automatically? maybe using jitter?

anyway, probably the best way is to use javascript array as coll. the 

only difference is that i can't open the data in text format, without

If it's an array you could share data with a table by using the refer 

message. IMS the C API will let you bind to a table's data pool, in 

which case the JScript API might let you do the same. You'd have to 

dig a bit in the documentation to find details.

Unfortunately, I have to store strings and alphanumerics. So table

Unfortunately, I have to store strings and alphanumerics. So table  
won't help in this case.
