Can I clear the values when I close it?

Thanks much in advance

symbol “”

Max will erase the quotes, but if you click the resulting message box (instead of a bang) to open your [dialog], whatever was there before will be erased. So it’s not clearing after you enter, it’s before, but hey, I think the result is the same.

interesting:
try it with just

symbol
or
symbol
…error…

somehow, after erasing the “” there is still something there…ghosts in the machine…ahh, great album ;)

The symbol is the title of the dialog, no? I meant the inputted text. Unles you are talking about a different object?
