Hi all,

I have two quick questions that are requiring more time than they should to figure out.

1) In some of the examples and patches I've used, the udpsend object can have its arguments changed (host and port) through the inlet (I think). How is this done? I only see a way to set them initially, and not have them changed once the patch is locked.

2) I used a patch that had an input box pop-up after clicking the message box. How is this done? I could not find anything in the patch that allowed this. (figuring this out may answer the first question)

FYI I'm referring to the patch included with TouchOSC that allows you to specify OSC hosts and ports.

Thanks in advance

1) The help files of udpsend/receive show how to change the ports/address

2) Do you specifically want a window to open or do you just want to edit the value?
