since the latest update to Max I am experiencing some errors in complex blocks of code where I am not at all pointed to its origin, let alone what can be done about it.

object_findregistered: looking for single sym registered object obj:dictionary:u841003805 in namespace:array, but found in dictionary

I can extract from this that somewhere an 

 with specific name is expected but instead a 

 under that name is received. Now, this error never came before and I am literally clueless as to where the problem hails from. The code thereafter does not do what it is supposed to so my program is no longer working.

suddenly inexplicable errors in v8 since last update

suddenly-inexplicable-errors-in-v8-since-last-update

this may well be the wrong place to ask about this but does anyone know why certain MGraphics functionality has simply been 'changed' ?

The console is clogged with messages such as this one

jsvg_get_size behavior has changed. viewbox X/Y offset unused. color_palette.svg viewbox: 4294967247 0 1181 4294968426

After a long spell of settup a lot of v8ui code to support neat SVG-rendering many of them now appear scaled, compressed, deformed — all because 

This has been implemented in the latest version of Max.

Is this going to be fixed again or am I to expect such changes with any odd update now? Very hard to predict what's going to happen next I am now having to revisit all of my code to scale all vector graphics correctly — in all of my projects.  Unless this will be fixed again. Will it ?

This really ain't good! What am I missing ¿?

MGraphics: jsvg_get_size behavior has changed WHY ?

IDK if this information is already documented somewhere, or if the same behavior can be implemented more simply and easily.  This is just how I figured out I could implement certain behavior I wanted for a project.  Since I struggled so mightily acquiring the details, I thought I would share my solution.  I'd also like to know about any better (safer, more flexible maybe) way(s) anyone else has for implementing this kind of behavior. Please reply and share.

DL and save this txt file to a local folder, change the extension from .txt to .js.

patchers.txt

Save (your "new from clipboard" copy of) the below compressed patch to the same folder as the patchers.js file (saveAs "patcherA.maxpat" maybe)

Save (your "new from clipboard" copy of) the below compressed patch to the same folder as the "patcherA" Patch and the patchers.js files (saveAs "patcherB.maxpat" maybe)

Close both "new" Patchers, then reopen one then the other locally from Max File menu. (so they can find the patchers.js file when they load)

PatcherA: (PatcherB is functionally identical to A except B loadbangs"initB")

The two top level patchers each contain a Max js object and each js object is an instance of the code found in the patchers.js file and the two "siloed" instances can still call a method "in" the other instance (after both patches are open).

The "reportOut" messages you pass into "patcherA's" js object appear at "patcherB's" js outlet, and vice versa.

This demo verbosely posts to the max console, but it's for demonstration purposes. Comment out the informational console posts for actual use of the code.

TLDR: Use "introspection" on the Max environment to locate the "Maxobj" (js) objects of concern by "scripting name", then call javascript functions on the "scripting name" objects using the js introspection syntax.

var fnA = "fromA";
if (maxObjB && maxObjB.valid) {
    maxObjB.js[fnA](msg);
    post("reportOut: *msg sent!"); post();

IDK if this information is already documented somewhere, or if the same behavior can be implemented more simply and easily.  This is just...

I am trying to change the width of a jit.cellblock scroll bar. I am using my patcher on a tablet and the scroll bar is really small.

I have looked at the js painter file, but I am not sure if this is the right way to go about it.

Since I am a complete novice in programming, I decided to ask you for help. 

Here is a reference to the filter I would like to get.

My thoughts: most likely, this is not a Band Pass filter, but two cutoff filters with adaptive Slope (from 12 to 48 dB/Octave). Moving up sets the distance between the bands and the filter slope, while moving horizontally sets the frequency. The amplitude range on the graph is from (unknown) to ~+6 dB.

If anyone can help me with this, I would be very grateful! Thank you!

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.
