Is there a message that can be sent to a Javascript-created toggle to learn its current state (which may have been altered by the user)?

. You can use the pattr system to get it's value using 

var toggle = this.patcher.getnamed("yoyo");

Assuming that you have a toggle somewhere in the patcher named "yoyo". You can use the pattr system to get it's value using getvalueof.

function bang()
{
    var toggle = this.patcher.getnamed("yoyo");
    outlet(0, toggle.getvalueof());
}


the javascript documentation could be extended / improved a little bit more..

lets see what version 6 will bring to us!

any references / articles in this matter are always welcome!

super cool, that was the little and important piece i was needing for my javascript toggle sequencer, i should post sources very soon ( :

yet super simple, build a grid of toggles than outputs bang when the playhead passes by a toggle set to ON.

need to improve it a bit to be really useful, but the main concept and code is pretty much there.

any feedbacks, suggestions, improvements, are more than welcome.
