the following patch doesn't work the way it should. There are 3 pvar

objects corresponding to one number box named 'sahFreq'. when I open the

patch, only the leftmost pvar responds to changes in the number box. If I

then move the number box, and none of the pvar objects will respond!

this nearly identical patch displays none of the same weird behavior.

The only difference I detect is that in the broken patch, the named number

box has something attached to its output. I tried attaching different

objects to the output of the number box and achieved the same wonky results.

That's strange...both of your patches work just fine for me... What's your OS/Max Version?

(thanx much for the flowers in the free elastic thread by the way.)

I ran into this problem in max 4 as well. The only thing I found was to re-load the pvar objects. I think this has been fixed in Max 5 but I wouldn't know because I just use presentation mode :()

pvar seems broken if several pvars point to the same object. I

discovered that long time ago myself, it seems it has never been fixed.

Look also into pattr, pattrforward and var as alternatives...

I didn't test it for buggyness in max 5, it might work there...
