No, basically, it sounds like you are doing this...

[myobj $1]

in one instance... and

[myobj $2]

in another instance...

You already know what the number of the parameter you are looking for, so why not do this...

[myobj 1 $1]

[myobj 2 $2]

May not be the most elegant, but...

why not just make another creation argument that shadows the dollar

i am not sure whether i fully understand what you mean.
do you mean i should use something like "$*1" (or "#1" or something else that does not get munged by Pd's parser) instead of or in additional to my args?
