"did you know" week 9 video - re-bang loadbangs, loadmess et al.

k9's icon

I was trying to follow the did you know video "week 9" where he sends a bang message to all objects of the classes loadbang, loadmess or live.thisdevice with the "universal" object.

When I try the same with 5.1.8 on Mac, I get this message:

loadmess: doesn't understand "loadmess"
live.thisdevice: doesn't understand "loadmess"
loadbang: doesn't understand "loadmess"

in my Max window, and no bangs are shown (or printed).

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Here is my try. Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?:

Your patch does work here, with 5.1.8 under X.6.7...

thanks for the reply. In fact it works here too -- if I copy and paste the above into a patch window. My patch (that I "Copied compressed") still doesn't work...

How weird is that?

I'll drop it and think of it as voodoo....No idea what happened there...
