In order to test if the mouse is on a given object or not, I have made a little device based on [js].

I cannot use [hover] because the actual objects for which I need this test to take place cannot be expected to have a scripting name…

I have a getsize function in JS such as  : 

I added +35 empirically, I assume because of the toolbar (I'm not really sure how to handle that otherwise…).Inside the abstraction (which is just a test, I need this detection device in several objects), I compare the coordinates with a mousestate and then I get 0 or 1. Easy.

The tricky part for me was the zoom, it seemed I handled it well with the getattr("zoomfactor") and multiplying the coordinates

But remains for me a BIG issue : how to detect the object when the patching window is being scrolled away from the starting point? In this case, no matter what zoom % I have (even default 100%) the real box position and the mousestate cannot align anymore.  As show in this video :

Is there any way to retrieve the parent patcher scrolling drift? I'm not sure how to call that in English…

If you know an idea to detect if toolbar is on/off in parent patcher as well, I'm also interested…

I want to get the value of a [value] object in a Js. This is what I am trying:

var vValue = this.patcher.getnamed("value-Obj-Name").getvalueof();

, but both cases return either "jsobject 0" or .

I know this technique works with most(?) max objects as I use it to get the values of various objects successfully.

Do [value] object have a different approach or it simply cant be done (that would be a bummer...)?

Before Max 9, one could define one's own objectfiles and substitutions for custom 

-objects which also allowed direct access to their 

 when set up correctly. This was achieved using the method:

Since Max 9 the objects are still created correctly with these lines of text, however, helpfiles and reference pages are no longer accessible and one always ends up at the general jsui/v8ui helpfile.

, it says the following needs to be written in the textfile , or sent as a message to max:

With the example provided in the above mentioned documentation, it's all hunky dory and everything works as expected, including the mentioned 'transform'-command from the object's dropdown-menu. None of this works anymore, whether using the deprecated (?) 

So, I am quite lost and would like to map all the helpfiles and refpages set up to their jsui/v8ui objects again. What can I do?

I have  created a quick 'TEST'-package to make sure I am not missing anything and to allow others to reproduce:

the file 'test-objectmappings.txt' contains the following line, as suggested in the documentation:

max define max.defined.v8ui v8ui max.defined.v8ui.js;

the-define-message.zip

Any help or guidance would be gretly appreciated!

 is now considered legacy, it would make great sense to upgrade the dropfile-options for JavaScript files in Max, since 

-file onto an unlocked patcher. This obviously throws an error when js-Files have been coded for v8.

Hi, I've been thinking on a wysiwyg gui for my next patch, I wonder if it's convenient to create an in-browser frontend for the complex sequencer, fetch the data to the backend on node4max and tie it somehow to midi synths in max, because considering the complex idea of the project it would be more convinient to write it in code rather than in max graphical language. 

If so, I hardly imagine how would I connect the backend responses to max midi data, even with node4max tools, how would I do that, in concept?

I'm creating a standalone that uses a node.script object.  Everything works perfectly with my .maxpat file, the .js file loaded by the node.script object, and the NPM library (midi-file) all within a single folder on my Mac.  Like this:

I don't use Projects to organize things, I just usually build my standalone from the File --> Build Collective / Application menu.  And then if something is needed in my standalone, I move it there manually.

No matter how I move the above files into my standalone's Resources/C74 hierarchy, I can't get it to work - the app crashes every time, with this kind of error:

Thread 0 Crashed:: JUCE Message Thread Dispatch queue:

Can someone help me with where the javascript file and NPM module files need to go in the standalone bundle to make this work?
