is there an official way to do make an object that both works as a patcher object and a JS object? 

I tried making two separate classes and registering them but it doesn't work.

class_nobox-and-class_box

1) make two separate classes in ext_main() like so

t_class *jsmyclass = class_new("jsmyclass",yada yada);

jsmyclass->c_flags = CLASS_FLAG_POLYGLOT ;

t_class *myclass = class_new("myclass",yada,yada);

2) important: make sure that the mxo file is named jsmyclass,mxo. This seems to be key

3)add the appropriate file to jsextentions folder:

This should allow you to load myclass as a max object and a jsobject.

Before implementing them, it is important to know the basic difference between them. The class nobox is final variable default and the class box is non final variable default. The class nobox cannot be initiated abut the class box can be initiated.

I guess this thread is turning into a blog but anyway I found something amazing. You can return t_objects from C into javascript meaning that you can (potentially) have access to a full C object hierarchy in Javascript. you just use atom_setobj.

The thing I love about this approach is that you get all the benefits of quickly coding in js but you can access the data outside javascript in a high priority fashion. (through the conduit method described in the SDK).
