I'm having a funny problem sending a message out of a [js] object. I want to send out the message:

which isn't liked by the [lcd] object I've plugged it into.

Here's the [js] code I'm using; if you'd like to see the rest of the max patch I can upload that too (I'm guessing the problem can be solved somehow in the [js] object)

    //problem: I'm getting "getpixel x y" in doublequotes.

    var message = 'getpixel ' + xx + ' ' + yy;

    //configure the width and height of the image

I'm having a funny problem sending a message out of a [js] object.  I want to send out the message:

//////////////////////
//imgRead.js
//////////////////////

function bang()
{
	if(xx == imgWidth)
	{
		xx = 0;
		yy += 1;
	}
	else
	{
		xx += 1;
	}

	//send:
	//getpixel x y
	//to the [lcd] object

	//problem: I'm getting "getpixel x y" in doublequotes.

	var message = 'getpixel ' + xx + ' ' + yy;
	outlet(0, message);
}

function size(width, height)
{
	//configure the width and height of the image

	imgWidth = width;
	imgHeight = height;
	//post(width + ', ' + height);
}

Put a "fromsymbol" object after your javascript object.

Its not that funny...thats the message you are sending...

Plus signs do not make a list, the concatenate.

That worked. Thanks for your patience, guys. No matter how noobish my questions are, you're always there for me. :)

I intend to post the patch as soon as I finish. It probably won't be the most amazing Max patch ever, but I think it's kind of a cool idea...
