So I have a main patcher (mainpatch), and in it there is a sub patcher (subpatch).

I want to create an object (let's using button for example) inside that subpatch. How do I do that with scripting?

To make an object in the mainpatch I have been using: 

this.patcher.newdefault(200, 200, "button");

I tried giving the sub patcher a scripting name (subpatchscript) and using:

var sub = this.patcher.getnamed('subpatchscript');

but that does not do anything. Any suggestions?

[thispatcher] is an object to which you send messages that affect the patcher within which it resides. Look over the [thispatcher] help file for examples of scripting.

Thank you and this is along the right path but I was looking to do this in Javascript.

In other words, how do I assign a global variable name to a subpatcher object, and then create an object inside that. Here is what I have so far with the code accompanying

    this.patcher.newdefault(x, 100, "button");

    sub.newdefault(100, 100, "button"); //This does not work

//sub.subpatcher.newdefault(100,100,'button'); //neither does this

function makeinsub(){

Doh! Of course. Well.. can't help you there but I can bump the thread. :)

sub.subpatcher().newdefault(100, 100, "button")
