Hello list,
Is there an equivalent of the remote object to receive on a given symbol? I want this to be set on the creation of an abstraction by something like [pack $1 $2 $3] -> [makesymbol %s-%s-%s-foo]. Also, on send, using the pack object seems to add the word 'list' to the beginning of the list, meaning that remote sends to list, rather than the desired destination. Is this a bug in remote?
I know sending and receiving on symbols defined by several $ variables has been covered before - http://iem.kug.ac.at/mailinglists/pd-list/2001-06/0126.html (not the url, the page ;) is Miller's explenation, but I can't quite see how to use this in order to acheive what I want. I want to be able to put give a high level abstraction three arguments which will define the send and / or receive symbols contained inside, and I don't see how something fixed inside the abstraction (as b1 etc are in Miller's example) help. I also want to duplicate such abstractions quite extensively. I may be missing something really basic, as the question has been answered before, but any further light on the matter would be appreciated.
I suppose a receive variation with an inlet to define it's symbol would be quite easy to code? A bit of pd is about as deep into programming as I have got.
Sorry for being so verbose (and sending much the same post several times this evening), and thanks again for any insights.
Regards,
Peter
