Bug in [mc.play~]?

Brian H.'s icon

It seems like I should be able to turn instances off/on by sending it "setvalue 1 $1" with a [toggle]. But I the error "play~ doesn't understand float." Can anyone reproduce that?

Thanks,
Brian

Yes, I can reproduce that.
A workaround is to use "start" and "stop" messages:
