Is the attached stuff really the best way to do this? I tried sending

out max messages to an automatic 0 videoplane from js but max

obviously wasn't having it. However, I was also surprised to find

that inserting a fromsymbol didn't solve it. I had to rig it up this

way. Help is greatly appreciated. If this is the best way, just let

---------save as kvm.videoplane_control.js

var videoplane = new Array(jsarguments[1]);

        outlet(0, "scale " + videoplane[i][0] + " " + videoplane[i][1]);

        outlet(0, "position " + videoplane[i][2] + " " + videoplane[i][3]);

        outlet(0, "tex_offset_x " + videoplane[i][4]);

        outlet(0, "tex_offset_y " + videoplane[i][5]);

        outlet(0, "tex_scale_x " + videoplane[i][6]);

        outlet(0, "tex_scale_y " + videoplane[i][7]);

        outlet(0, "color" + " " + videoplane[i][8]);

        outlet(0, "texture " + videoplane[i][9]);

function vp(number, scale_x, scale_y, loc_x, loc_y, tex_offset_x,

tex_offset_y, tex_scale_x, tex_scale_y, alpha, texture){

    videoplane[number][4] = tex_offset_x;

    videoplane[number][5] = tex_offset_y;

    videoplane[number][6] = tex_scale_x;

    videoplane[number][7] = tex_scale_y;

You need to send an array or separate the elements with a coma 

outlet(0, "scale", videoplane[i][0], videoplane[i][1]);

When you use "+" with string in JavaScript it just concatenate the 

You need to send an array or separate the elements with a coma  
because outlet() can do that:

When you use "+" with string in JavaScript it just concatenate the  
strings to make an unique one.

Thanks EJ; that does help; I'm not getting error messages anymore, but

the videoplane still isn't responding. I really feel like I'm missing

Thanks EJ; that does help; I'm not getting error messages anymore, but
the videoplane still isn't responding.  I really feel like I'm missing
something obvious.

Could you post a little bit more of the patch because actually it's

Could you post a little bit more of the patch because actually it's  
missing the textures, the render, etc.

Nevermind. I was doing some dumb stuff with the positioning. Thanks
