Loadbang doesn't trigger when you create abstractions dynamically.
Use [initbang], or send a message after creating the abstraction to trigger the loadbang. (Look up pd-msg in the help docs)

I'm creating an abstraction (say it's called test-parent.pd) which creates another abstraction (called test-child.pd) inside a subpatch, a number of times according to the argument passed to test-parent.pd. What I want to do is store $0 of test-parent.pd and pass it to all instances of test-child.pd to set a name for [throw~] which is in the test-child abstraction, like this (this is in test-parent.pd):
[loop] <- this is an until loop with a counter | [t f b] | | [* 20] [$0] | | | | [pack f f] | [obj 100 $1 test-child $2( | [s subpatch]
Inside test-child.pd I have this:
[loadbang] | [$1 ] | [set $1-sum( | [throw~]
Say that $0 of test parent is 1004. What happens is that, even though all test-child.pd abstractions are created like this [test-child 1004], I get the following error: throw~ 1127-sum: no matching catch There is a [catch~ $0-sum] in test-parent.pd, which, I guess, is updated accoridng to $0, but [test-child] seems to have been stuck to 1127 (I'm clearing the subpatch where all [test-child]s are being created, and then create the abstractions)... Any clues?
