'@bgfillcolor', 0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 1 doesn't work for the [message] object

Hi all,
I try to make a message object from Javascript. I have found, the bgfillcolor attribute doesn't work. I always get the default colour.
I have tried this way :
var message = this.patcher.newdefault(x, y , 'message',
'@bgfillcolor', 0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 1)
And also this way:
var message = this.patcher.newdefault(x, y, 'message'); value.setattr('bgfillcolor', 0.3,0.3,0.3,1);
- Sep 19 2022 | 10:38 pmSomething like this should work:
var message = this.patcher.newdefault(x, y, 'message'); message.setattr('bgfillcolor', 1,0.3,0.3,1); - Sep 19 2022 | 10:58 pmHi,What is the difference comparison to my code, please?
- Sep 19 2022 | 11:01 pmIt looks like you were trying to use setattr() on something other than the message box, 'value'?
- Sep 20 2022 | 6:56 amHi,Oh sorry, it's just an error when rewriting the code here. My bar is named value. To make it clear, I changed the var to message here, but not in both cases. Sorry.
- Sep 20 2022 | 5:02 pmMaybe send along the whole code, as it is working here.
- Sep 21 2022 | 7:39 amHi,The code is like this: var message = this.patcher.newdefault(x, y, 'message', '@varname', 'message', '@presentation_rect', x, y + 40, 40, 20, '@annotation', 'message', '@textjustification', 1, '@bgfillcolor', 0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 1, '@presentation', 1);And I have also tried this: var message = this.patcher.newdefault(x, y, 'message'); message.setattr('bgfillcolor', 0.3,0.3,0.3,1);None of them is working on my side here (Max 8.3).
- Sep 21 2022 | 4:02 pmHmm, not sure what could be going on. You could attach a project with all of your dependencies, I'd be happy to take a look.
- Sep 22 2022 | 7:50 amHi,OK, you are right. It works in the empty script. Then I have to do something wrong in the function before.Thank you
