When you create an abstraction dynamically, it does not get a
loadbang.
Is there an object that sends a similar "loadbang" when the abstraction is created dynamically?
afaik there isn't any similar object to [loadbang].
I know I can send the abstraction a "loadbang" message, but I would like it to be automatic.
what do you mean by automatic? when you use the event of creating your [abs] also for sending it a [; pd-abs.pd loadbang(-msg, wouldn't be that automatic? i didn't find a 'nicer' solution yet. if you create more than one [abs] dynamically, you need to give them sort of an ID as an argument in order to avoid banging them all every time you create a new one (if that would be a problem). i admit this is not quite elegant. once there was a discussion in the list about if there should be loadbang for dynamically created abs or not, but suddenly i forgot the advantages of the way it is now. but there are some, i think..... :-)
Other question : does closebang work? If so, how?
once i had this question too. afair, miller puckette said that he might would implement that in a later version of pd, but i'm not quite sure anymore about that.
