I’m working around “patchdescribe-example.maxpat” example.
I would like to know if a named bpatcher in a patch is in presentation mode.. or not.
with this js, I can get the “presentation” attribute from any named object, but it doesn’t seem to work with bpatchers…
(it returns “-1″ instead of 0 / 1)

sorry if it’s a stupid question,… I’m very new to javascript, and couldn’t find much info about this in the doc / archives.
and, by the way : where in max5 can I find something like max4′ JavascriptInMax.pdf ???

any help is welcome
Thanks in advance

Mathieu

here is the js (save it as “patchdescribe_mod.js” ) :

function bang()
{
this.patcher.apply(iterfun);
}
function iterfun(b)
{
if(b.varname != “”) //filter named objects only
{
outlet(0, b.varname, b.rect, b.getattr(“presentation”));
}
return true;
}
iterfun.local=1;

and here is a patch demonstrating the problem :

– Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. –

If I have empty bpatchers, getting presentation attribute works as
expected (0 or 1), but as soon as I give a patcher name, I always get 0,
whatever presentation mode the bpatcher is in.

Max5.05, osx10.4.11

with empty bpatcher, presentation attribute is repported as expected ; but with “something” in the bpatcher, I always get “-1″.

>>>: toto 8 115 58 133 0
>>>: roto 279 103 319 143 1
>>>: bepat1 8 158 154 346 -1
>>>: bepat2 381 160 527 348 -1

so I’m in a dead end ? does it means that there is no way to know if a bpatcher in a patch is included in presentation ?
(the bpatcher’s inspector can know it… so it’s hard to believe that it’s impossible to get this info…)

?
