Having a problem with js. I've got a function that outputs via:

outlet(3, "max " + (start+length) );    

now the idea is to have outlet 3 of the js object go to a max num object and set the "max" value that num object can go up to. I get?:

error: number: doesn't understand "max 3"

instead. I think using the +, it is output as a symbol? the above format will make it a list that number will understand.

i think you need to send it 
outlet(3, "max ", (start+length) ); 
instead.  I think using the +, it is output as a symbol?  the above format will make it a list that number will understand.


Thanks for the suggestion. But I still get the same error. It almost seems that strings that come out of the js object are not reconized by the num object. Anyone else? Heres the example

function franz(b){
outlet(0, "set " + b);
outlet(1, "set ", b);
}

Looks like this may be a Windows bug. I can get it to work on a Mac but not my PC. Anythoughts?

To make it clearer: let's say b is 666, if you use

because the first message is a symbol, the second message is a list made of a symbol "set" and the integer 666.

In order to do what you want you have to use

Note, no space after "set". Because "set " (with a space) will output the message

which is made by the symbol "set " which is different from "set" (for example it will not be detected by [route set]) and the integer 666.
