 Javascript tools within Max, to allow for reading info from MIDI files. I'm aware of the new ability within Max to "include" javascript files , but in general I suck at Javascript so I've not been able to get very far. I believe I need the stream.js and midifile.js pieces; my goal is to be able to give a js object within Max the path to the MIDI file, and then get the note and other info out of the js object for use in Max-land.

I'd like to be able to use the jasmid Javascript tools  within Max, to allow for reading info from MIDI files.

It will be probably more handy use [jweb] instead of [js]. [jweb] is actually a WWW browser "inside max" - you may work with JavaScript nested on webpage loaded into [jweb] as with any "typical" JavaScript - and you send messages from/to [jweb] from your Max patch.

[jweb] is in general very interesting object, there are some, relatively current, topics on this forum about the [jweb].

Thanks Yaniki - I'm aware of jweb, and that's a good tip to give it a look, I will do so as I've not done that yet.

Nonetheless I'm still eager to see if there's a more streamlined way to do it within a plain old js object; seems a fair amount of overhead to run jweb within my patch if all I need to be able to do is invoke these relatively small two .js files...
