a value object with a value inside.
can I grab it inside a JS ?

This would normally be achieved with the maxobj method 

 but it appears to only work with UI objects, the workaround is to place a number box or similar after one instance of your [value] object and use this to grab the data, this will require banging the [value] object though.

I mean, I found another most efficient logic to do that

@julien I'd be curious to see your solution. Would you might posting it?

- a function which take an argument and only copy this one inside the JS' variable

- I systematically bang the new value each time it changes

That makes me think: Is there a patch-wide global JavaScript scope? In that case one could also write a short script that take an argument writes it to a JS global variable, put it inside one object and connect it to the output the desired object.

Inside an other object with the main script one could read the value.

But I never tried how global the global scope is....

You could create a js replacement for [value] which would look something like this:

var glob = new Global("uniquename");

function anything() {
    val = arrayfromargs(messagename,arguments);
    glob.val = val;
}

function bang() {
    outlet(0,glob.val);
}

Then if you include the first line of that file to declare the same Global object in another javascript file you can use the 

 variable just as you would any other variable and I think that would pretty much solve your original problem.
