Any suggestions ?

I pasted youre code... But it is only a preset object

as ej said, use the "set $1" message. this is the same in many cases where you want to have visual feedback *back* to an object after a number comes out (like if you want a slider to go into a number box, but changing the number box also sets the slider level). Without "set" in the loop, you're choosing a umenu number, it goes into the preset and selects it, the preset sends the number out into the umenu, it sends it back into preset, etc... not allowed. Put "set $1" between preset and umenu so that the umenu actually selects the preset (which is the overall goal) but when you click a preset, it will only *set* the umenu selection.

Also, umenu counts from 0, but preset counts from 1, so you will need to use +1 and -1 respectively.

oups… sorry… it was probably to early to write on the forum ;-) seejayjames example is what I was thinking about.

I had the same problem with setting symbols in a umenu i.e. "symbol vid_1.mp4" would go in and come back out again causing a loop. Solution: "setsymbol vid_1.mp4" sets without output.

I needed this post to get me through that. Still useful 12 years on.
