In my lack of experience writing Max objects, I've run accross a problem trying to create one that takes in lists at each of its three inputs, and uses these in a method employing proxy_getinlet(). I seen to have gotten stuck, however, in accepting lists...no matter what I send to it, it says the inlets do not respond to it.

addmess((method)myobject_listHandler,    "list",    A_OBJ, 0);

x->m_proxy1 = proxy_new((t_object *)x, 2, &x->inletAtHand);

x->m_proxy2 = proxy_new((t_object *)x, 1, &x->inletAtHand);

void myobject_listHandler(t_rhythmMatrixTransformer *x, t_symbol *s, short ac, t_atom *av)

    switch (proxy_getinlet((t_object *)x)) {

                x->matrixColorInfo[calcBoardNo(i/16, i%16)][0] = av->a_w.w_long; 

                x->matrixColorInfo[calcBoardNo(i/16, i%16)][1] = av->a_w.w_long;

                x->matrixColorInfo[calcBoardNo(i/16, i%16)][2] = av->a_w.w_long;

Am I completely on the wrong path? I tried the docs and searched the forums, but couldn't find an answer to my specific question.

Does that work better if you declare your method with the A_GIMME signature? A_OBJ shouldn't be used with Max messages.

addmess((method)myobject_listHandler,    "list",    A_GIMME, 0);

addmess((method)myobject_listHandler,	"list",	A_GIMME, 0);

Thanks for the reply! I only tried A_OBJ after A_GIMME didn't work.

Have a look to delay2.c in the SDK for the proxy implementation, as well as the 

 chapter in the SDK. If that doesn't help post more of the code.

Your code looks basically OK, once you use A_GIMME in add_mess().

However, you really really need to check that (ac >= 64) at the beginning of myobject_listhandler(). Not doing so is begging to crash Max.

But from your description I suspect the problem is more likely in your New() method implementation. How are you creating the inlets?
