I have created a Max object using "newdefault" from my javascript. I want to then send a message to this new object. I am using the following function...

maxObj.message(“list”, "test message");

This seems to generate a script error. How do I send a MaxObject a message?

Is there a way I can specify a inlet number as well?

how about maxObj.message(“test", "message”)? A list should start by a number.


Hey Emmanuel, thanks for our response. I tried your suggestion, it compiles fine but I get the following error...

The patcher I instantiated with "newdefault" is an abstraction of my own. Can I send the message to an inlet instead so that I can handle the message in my abstraction?

This is not pretty but you can do something like this.

So are you saying there is no way to send a user defined message to a MaxObj via javascript?

No you can send a message to MaxObject but not to a patcher ;-)

I see, I seem to be confusing an abstraction with an object. Will have to think about this some more.
