I have previously worked with JavaScript in web applications

MaX I encountered some problems when trying to convert an integer variable to a string and get the values of an array in a loop.

My function takes as input an array generated by the function (pack 0,0,0,0,0), trying to get the values of each array elements value assigned to the temporary variable "a" function stops working.

given the problem change the following code, the solution is inelegant and trying to convert the temporary variable "a" to chain the function stops working

if anyone can help me with these questions or pass the Max JS reference that uses the very grateful.

What exactly are you trying to do? The first example set the variable "a" to each value in the input list but doesn't do anything with it other than print it to the max window. The second example does the same but the printing is done outside of the loop so only the last argument is shown.

A quick tip: post the exact javascript code so we can check it easily, in this case use {curly braces} to denote blocks not (parentheses) so we don't have to change it to run a test.

Explain what you're putting in and what you want out the other end a bit more clearly and I'll try to help.

I need is to get the values of each of the incoming arguments under, taking these values generated a string with zeros and ones.

The problem I have in the first instance is when I try to get the values of the input.

The second problem is when I try to convert an integer variable to string

none of these forms work, then show the complete code in this Encounter me problems when I try to concatenate

z = a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + a5 +a6 +a7 +a8; // dont work

I'm still not quite sure what you are trying to achieve. The only reason you'd have a problem with your first piece of code is there is an error in the post() function. The code below will work if you send it a list:

function list() {
    if (arguments.length) {
        nargs = arguments.length;
        post ("nargs =",nargs,"n");
        for (i = 0; i 

The second part where you are doing concatenation of strings should work too, here's some more example code:

var a1 = "1";
var a2 = "2";
var a3 = "3";

function bang() {
    answer = a1+a2+a3;
    post(typeof(answer),"n");
    post(answer,"n")
}

What lists are you sending to your javascript object and how are you expecting them to be formatted when they are sent from the outlet? Reply with a quick example ie:

This will hopefully give me a better understanding of your problem.
