I'm having some trouble outputting a dictionary from my object. I think I'm following the examples in the documentation and the min.dict.join example. But I must be doing something wrong. I'm hoping someone can assist. I'm not sure where to go from here.

output.send("dictionary", Mydict.name());

This code prints "12345" to the max console. So I know I am creating a dictionary, it has a key, and that key has a value. But nothing comes out the output. When I hook up a [dict.view], nothing happens. When I hook it up to a [dict.join] or another dict object I get an error, "no dictionary in atoms"

I got the syntax for the last line from the [min.dict.join] example. Is there something I'm missing? Thank you for any assistance!

            cout << Mydict["FirstKey"] << endl;

Solved it shortly after posting. Hopefully this will be helpful to others. I missed a piece in the [min.dict.join] example.

This works like a charm. The dict needs to treated as a symbol for for the name to be cached in Max's symbol lookup table. I suspect without this, Mydict.name() is empty, which explains the results I was getting.
