I want to access a dictionary from my max patch in a JavaScript.  However, whenever I try to access a dictionary objects using getDict, following error occurs:

Following minimal script can be used to attempt reproduction of my issue:

const maxApi = require('max-api');

async function f() {
    await maxApi.getDict(<Your dictionary name here>);
}

f()

Thanks for your help in advance, greatly appreciated!

Please help me wrap my head around what "global" actually means in the javascripting context.

Coming from a development background working in programming languages like C, C++, C#, Java, Python, and Groovy; I'm very confused by the phrase "global variable" as used throughout the Max javascript documentation such as, "

Variables defined in the global scope will persist...

In other language implementations a "variable in the global scope" is accessible from any nested scope, and there is only one instance of a global variable per "global scope".  But that does not seem to be the case with Max-js?

In the compressed example patcher, the variables "global00" and "global11" are defined in the "global scope", but "global00" behaves more like a "script instance" (or "class") scoped variable than a "global".  "Global11" exhibits behavior more like a traditional "global" variable, but that's because it's defined as a (Max-js) Dict object instead of int or string, and Dict objects are unique in that respect. There is only one instance of any Dict object (name)  "globally" inside any Max Runtime instance.  But that's not true for plain js types like int and string.

Please help me understand why C74 uses "global scope" throughout the javascript documentation instead of something less confusing like "script instance scope".  What "global" details am I failing to take into account?

Please help me wrap my head around what "global" actually means in the javascripting context.

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!

Hello, I have a heavy typescript project, which is running on 

 and should be able to send midi data to Max directly via callbacks in main.js, which is read by node.script. As far as I know, node.script is capable of sending dictionaries in outlet, but I would actually prefer to send messages with pitch gate and velocity to synths directly, tied to global transport. Conceptually, how would I able to do that?

Hello again, in my jweb html file, in script section there is a code snippet which should be able to write to dict named MatrDict. Debugging shows that the matrData json produces as it should, copying the json from console to dict also displays it correctly in dict.view, changing matrData to something simple as { a: "1", b: "2", c: "3"} also works fine and it writes to the dict successfully, however trying to set the matrData won't give any results, why?

async updateMatrix(id, edges) {
                const matrix = this.matrices.get(id);
                if (matrix) {
                    // Store edges directly as {start, end} pairs
                    matrix.edges = new Set(edges.map(edge => ({
                        start: { x: edge.start.x, y: edge.start.y },
                        end: { x: edge.end.x, y: edge.end.y }
                    })));

                    const jsonData = {
                        matrices: Array.from(this.matrices.entries()).reduce((obj, [key, value]) => {
                            obj[key] = {
                                ...value,
                                edges: Array.from(value.edges) // Convert Set to Array
                            };
                            return obj;
                        }, {})
                    };

                    // console.log(jsonData) => success

                    const matrData = JSON.stringify(jsonData.matrices)

                    // console.log(matrData) => success

                    window.max.getDict("MatrDict", (dict) => {
                        window.max.setDict("MatrDict", matrData)
                    })


                    return true;
                }

So, I'm a little confused here. I'm currently bulding a Max for Live device but I was building it in normal Max as a project until recently. Then I had to export it as a amxd because I started working with live.object stuff. 

Well, the problem that now has occured is, that I don't really understand where Max/Live saves my subpatchers and scritps and stuff. 

The problem is that I have a JS file that includes another JS file (where a class is located) and I don't know how to access these files now. The inspector only tells me the blank file name without the path and when I edit the original file (the one I used in the original Max project), obviously nothing changes as this isn't the linked file anymore. 

So, I guess there is surely a best practice for this but I just can't find anything on the web that helps me here. Hope anyone can help me with this.

It's unclear for me how to monitor the position of gridshape being transfered by anim.node from one point to another. In the async Promise i have to resolve the function and free memory when animation is done, in other words stop the animation when the end coordinate is reached. Can't find in docs and examples.

I'll share the code snippet I have problems with below, with three of my unsuccessful attempts commented out. I have also tried to use Task for these purposes but it didn't go well either.
