How to autoupdate number~ in presentation mode

Boris's icon

Good morning everybody, I had a search but without success.
How can I update a signal number~ box automatically in realtime without to be in need to click the box in order to get an value displayed? I just want to have realtime numbers. snapshot~ was expected to do the job, but also without success. I believe it must be the snapshot. Even if I take the example from the help example and I just scope a cycle~440 by adding a snapshot~333 object including a float number by the left output of snapshot. The float box keeps representing '0'. Hmmm??
Thanks, Boris

So, I'm really confused. At the moment it works simply by the number box. I had a comparable issue this year yet with the scope: https://cycling74.com/forums/scope-just-display-envelope-once-i-touch-it.
I don't know what is wrong. But my Max sometime works and sometimes not in terms of real time representations. :-(

hey, snapshot~ converts signal into Max so if you're plugging a number~ after snapshot~ it won't do anything. You need to either connect your number~ object before the snapshot~ or a float object after it.
also note that the number~ objects has two modes. Basically one is a display and the other a control.
hope this help!
if it doesn't, post a patch
