Let's say i have a basic code to change max objects from active/inactive:

-var active_ui = ["myobject1", "myobject2"]

{ var active = arrayfromargs(arguments); for (var objectName in active_ui)

{ var obj = p.getnamed(active_ui[objectName]);

Now imagine, the object take their varname from the abstraction, and we have #1_myobject1, #1_myobjects2 instead. So the code doesn't know the name in the var.

i guess i have to create a new var for the #, but then i need some string operation to get the right reference?

hi,
Still exploring js for ui configuration.

How would  i handle the # in js?

If you are still working on this, I can probably help. But I don't fully understand what you are trying to do. So, if you want to pursue this, can you please post examples? Maybe something like this:

Example 1: A patcher and a Javascript that work together, where the Javascript is the same or much the same as what you have shown already.

Example 2: Multiple (as you mention abstractions) patchers and a Javascript that don't yet work together but give an idea of what you want to achieve.

(A safe and clear way to provide this information would be to attach two zip files to your post, one for each of Example 1 and Example 2.)

I think you want to see the "jsarguments" entry here: https://docs.cycling74.com/max8/vignettes/jsglobal

And use #1 in your js object ( e.g. [js myScript.js #1] ) inside your abstraction.
