I have a function that I think is attempting to communicate to the a named object. I am getting the error, "this.patcher is undefined". Not sure what the issue may be. The JS and the objects exist in the same patch. Suggestions?

        this.patcher.getnamed('str-' + i).message('bgfillcolor', '0.2 0.2 0.2');

        this.patcher.getnamed('str-' + inVal).message('bgfillcolor', '1. 0. 0.');

function highlight(x) {
	for (var i=1; i
		i = i.toString();
		post('str-' + i, '\n')
		this.patcher.getnamed('str-' + i).message('bgfillcolor', '0.2 0.2 0.2');
	}
	inVal = x;
	if(i != 0) {
		this.patcher.getnamed('str-' + inVal).message('bgfillcolor', '1. 0. 0.');
	}
}

There doesn't appear to be a Max tutorial that even discusses the this.patcher thing.

it is exactly the error message u get ? maybe there is a different context around ,that points this "this" to something else . have u tried run the document with just this piece of code without any other context ?
