Hey,

is there a simple solution for reading the value of a number field in JavaScript?

I am trying this for a while now and cound get it work. Nearest thing here in the forum is this: https://cycling74.com/forums/i-do-not-understand-getvalueof
But i did not understand the solution.

Would be kind of importand, as i need to get this running until tomorrow.

Thanks for any hint.

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.
