I'm wondering if there is anyway to grab the current selection from a [preset] object (or its corresponding pattrstorage) via scripting? I've tried several things, but couldn't get anything to work.

Currently I'm just relying on the output of the second outlet and keeping track of it as a variable, but it would be great to be able to query it without needing the physical connection.

You could maybe attach a pattr object to the outlet of your preset and then use getvalueof(), something like this:

var x = this.patcher.getnamed("foo"); //'foo' is name of pattr obj connected to 2nd outlet of preset obj

function bang()
{
    var x = this.patcher.getnamed("foo"); //'foo' is name of pattr obj connected to 2nd outlet of preset obj
    outlet(0,x.getvalueof());
}

ooo, that's a good idea. Yeah, that should work fine, thanks for the input!

preset.getvalueof() or similar
