I'm having difficulty accessing individual buffers of a polybuffer from within javascript.

I am then unable to access individual buffers for writing, like:

(I also tried pb[i].poke, and the 'send' mechanism too - to no avail)

Documentation seems to be a bit scarce on this subject.

after initializing within js, e.g.
var pb = new PolyBuffer(jsarguments[1]);

and:
function doManyBuffers(r){
	for(var i=0; i
		pb.appendempty(2048, 2);
}
(which works fine)
I am then unable to access individual buffers for writing, like:
for(var i = 1; i< pb.count; i++){
    pb.i.poke(1, 0,  size) = CopySource;
}
(I also tried pb[i].poke, and  the 'send' mechanism too - to no avail)

this thread is pretty old but one answer is you're not doing poke right

for starters you do not make poke() equal to anything, it's just a method you call with one easy line of code, no = required

i don't think you can poke an array to a buff, but maybe i am wrong.

EDIT: yes looks like you can! just make your values to write an array instead of a single value.

maybe polybuffer can do poke too, i haven't tried. if it did it might look like

my_polybuff[ind].poke(1, i, value_to_write);

i agree that the max javascript documentation is a bit lacking...

so it's like
my_buffer.poke(1, i, value_to_write);
