Is there a way the javascript object can execute a particular method when it is saved (equivalent to onload) ?

I tried the save() method, but it's invoked when the patcher is loaded, not when the javascript object is loaded.

This is because I need to initialize some arrays of objects referring to 'this,patcher.messnamed(x)' and start some tasks on them. That doesn't seem possible from global code. So when I am editing the file, I keep having to send a message to a specific function for that every time I edit the file and save it, which is a bit of pain.
