Well, this is not something that is within reach of many people.
We need to understand not just PD's internals, but how flext uses
them, and we also need to know how to integrate these things with
the extended nightly builds. Not quite certain how many people
know ALL of these things. Probably only a handful, and it would
appear that none of them are interested in getting flext working.GridFlow also uses proxy inlets. There are simpler examples of
proxy inlets within pd itself. E.g. all [list] objects have it.Basically you need to create another object that will be the
"slave" of your main object, and then create an inlet that will use
that object. The second argument of inlet_new is for that: the
inlet appears on the first argument's box, but messages will be
sent to the second argument's object. In that case you pass 0,0 for
the other arguments (which are usually symbols, but here are null
pointers to mean "not applicable")
I started a pdpedia page on the topic, please add anything useful:
