Dynamically change arguments
Is it possible to change an object’s args with a message?
Many thanks in advance
Joe

Hello,
AFAIK it’s not possible as arguments are parsed at instantiation ; sometimes values set by those arguments can be changed later with messages but it is not always true. Do you have a more precise scenario for better speculations ?

Well, I have an m4l patch that relies on [table]. Unfortunately due to m4l’s global namespace multiple instances share the same table. If I don’t change the name all instances use the same table.
Thanks again
Joe

Hi,
In MaxMSP you can use [table #0_toto] for that. The “three dashes” trick [table ---toto] do not work in your case (i do not have M4L) ? http://cycling74.com/search-results/?q=three%20dashes

This will definitely make unique tables, but it won’t set the name based on user input.
I’ve concluded that I’m better off with[text].
Thanks again
