I just started using java in max (hurrah!). I've created an external that creates buffers dynamically, using dropfile to provide the path to the sample. It works fine...

My question is: How do you delete objects dynamically? (is it possible?)

I know you can get/reference the objects (in this case buffers) using getNamedBox("mySample01");

but I can't figure out how to delete them. I have looked through the java-doc several times. Maybe I can't see the forest from trees...

deleting-objects-dynamically-from-mjx

you can delete objects with MaxPatcher().remove( MaxBox )

you get your actual "thispatcher" from a MaxObject with getParentPatcher();

you get your MaxBox with getParentPatcher().getNamedBox();

you remove the box with getParentPatcher( getNamedBox().remove() );

you get your actual "thispatcher" from a MaxObject with getParentPatcher();
you get your MaxBox with getParentPatcher().getNamedBox();
you remove the box with getParentPatcher( getNamedBox().remove() );
