there's some object that just stores values and need a bang later to output those values.

there's some others that "hot inlet" triggers values.

[rslider] for example, when sending to it a list to its "hot inlet", it just store the list and show it, but will not output until it gets bang.

[pack], for example, it output immediately whatever values it gets in its "hot inlet".

how can I know which object behave which way?

looking up everytime ref. is really time consuming, pain in the ass....

Normally, if you send a message to the leftmost inlet, it will trigger 

the output, unless the message starts with "set". Sending a message to 

other inlets shouldn't trigger anything. It is the case for [pack], but

Spending time is the only way to learn Max. Sorry!!

Normally, if you send a message to the leftmost inlet, it will trigger 
the output, unless the message starts with "set". Sending a message to 
other inlets shouldn't trigger anything. It is the case for [pack], but 
also for [rslider] and for [+ 0].

it was because of "set" message that it didn't output.

if not, I spend lots of time in Max lately, I'll spend more then! :)

'great to know that...
