I imagine by number field you mean something like the [number] or [flonum] objects. This is achievable with javascript by using the getvalueof() method. If you name your [number] object "zulu" you could use something like the line of code below:


outlet(0,this.patcher.getnamed("zulu").getvalueof());

Oh, I just missed naming the object. Thanks!!

And, yes, I ment the [number] object. As you may imagine, I am quite new to Max/MSP.
