I'm a relative newbie to this to JavaScript in Max, so apologies if this is a stupid question. 

I want to get js to output a list so it can call a fuction with several arguments in another instance of js. I have tried this:

outlet(0,"setinstrument" + instrument + " " + 0);

[NB setinstrument = function in othe js; instrument is a variable]

When this arrives at the other instance of js it doesn't recognise it.

In general how does one format lists to be sent of of js object?

Wicked thanks. I've also found a multitude of other errors in the send/receive portion of my program, but it's all working now.

Also, a nice thing about the JS object w/r/t arrays is that the

var elems = ["elem1", "elem2", "elem3", "elem4"];

outlet(0, "elem1", "elem2", "elem3", "elem4");

The reason you might want to use the second form is when you have

situations where you don't know the length of the array or it isn't

Also, a nice thing about the JS object w/r/t arrays is that the
following are equivalent:

outlet(0, "elem1", "elem2", "elem3", "elem4");
outlet(0, elems);

The reason you might want to use the second form is when you have
situations where you don't know the length of the array or it isn't
necessarily fixed.
