I’m trying to execute that I defined in an object, but instead of executing the function and returning the function variable I get a jsobject 2341234 in my outlet.

This is a simple example of my code:


var foo = new Object;
foo.execute = execFunction;

outlet(0,foo.execute);

function execFunction(){
return 'bar';
}

So instead of seeing ‘bar’ in the outlet I see e.g. ‘jsobject 23412341′

I’ve also tried:


foo.execute = function(){
return 'bar';
}

But that also doesn’t work :(

What am i doing wrong, or is this syntax just not compatible with Max/Msp?

Thanks forward!

Steve

If you actually want to call the function so the outlet returns “bar” then you need to do outlet(0,foo.execute());
