So I'm trying to send functions (envelopes) using send and receive, and I'm running into a problem with the sustain points. I'm able to send and receive the points from the envelope, but the sustain points don't show up in the receive location. Here's a video of my issue:

Am I simply doing something wrong? Patch follows below.

Hi,
Couldn't find this addressed anywhere...
So I'm trying to send functions (envelopes) using send and receive, and I'm running into a problem with the sustain points. I'm able to send and receive the points from the envelope, but the sustain points don't show up in the receive location. Here's a video of my issue: http://psychoangelo.com/questions/env.mov

responding to my own post: I should clarify and say that I found instances of the question being asked, but I wasn't clear on it there was a conclusive resolution....

The first thing you're doing wrong is not using Copy Compressed

Sustain points aren't sent in a dump, you have to ask for them

Sustain points aren't sent in a dump, you have to ask for them  
separately:

Thanks very much for the patch--it's much appreciated! Sorry about the copy compressed thing. I'm slowly (very slowly) getting with all the wonderful new Max 5 features (in the limited time that I can take away from actually working). Also, I made the mistake of only looking at the help file (which doesn't mention the getsustain message), and not the man page.

Yeah, it's easy to forget about the man pages, in the heat of 

patching. It's also worth looking at the popup list when you click on 

an inlet. It can be another good bread crumb.
