Get the value of a [value]

Hy guys,

I want to get the value of a [value] object in a Js. This is what I am trying:
var vValue = this.patcher.getnamed("value-Obj-Name").getvalueof();
I also have tried "getvalueof()[0]" , but both cases return either "jsobject 0" or .
I know this technique works with most(?) max objects as I use it to get the values of various objects successfully.

Do [value] object have a different approach or it simply cant be done (that would be a bummer...)?
