Hi, Is there anyway to grab the value of an object from within the js object without having to fiddle with a bunch of send and recieve nonsense?

ie a = myNumberBox.maxclass.value;

It seems like there should be a method at the very least to specify what message(s) are to be sent to what inlets and what outlet to grab from and whether or not its a single value or a stream

ie a = mySuperObject.maxclass.value("bang"

Also, along the same lines, is it possible to use a maxobject in a script without having to create a graphical instance of it in the patcher?
