Hey everyone, Ive made a little audofile player supatch using the bpatch.

To get sfinfo~ to work within the audiofile player subpatch, I've had to

name the sfplay~ object using loadbang and a message box. However, If I

have multiple instances of this bpatch in the same max patch, the sfinfo~

Here is a pure Max solution. It's also pretty trivial to do this with 

Javascript, I think it might even be an example. There are a few files 

below which should be saved together somewhere in your search path. Use 

the specified filenames, which are included as help text in the patches. 

These are for "New from Clipboard" because I'm feeling lazy. I'm sure 

there are better ways, but this one works for my purposes.

name before filetype (your choice): "guid"

name before filetype (your choice): "guid_bpatcher_test"

name before filetype (your choice): "guid_bpatcher_test-parent"

You need to look into #0 naming. every instance needs its own name, 

search the archives its covered approximatly every week once.
