Accessing object value in js

Mattebass's icon

Hello, is there a way to access an object value?
For example, is there a way to dump informations about an object referred by a js variable directly in js.
To my knowledge it's only possible to send messages to objects and change attribute, but I don't if possible to expose the actual value of the object to js.
Thanks

Do you mean, like printing to the console? If so, check out the `post` method:

Hi, no I'm trying to get the value of a max object, for example a number box or a function, directly inside js in order to avoid to send the value from max to the js object. A sort of obj.getattr() method, but for getting the value.
Thanks

Something like the methods of Maxobj .set() and .message() but to get the value.
