Re: [PD] "vis 1" messages

Hey David,

Its being sent from inside the abstraction.

I'm not sure about your suggestions, I can send the message to pd-xy.pd (where xy.pd is the filename of my abstraction) sending to the receive makes all instances of the abstraction visible. What receive can I send to in order to only open the abstraction who receives the signal to generate that message?

; pd-xy.pd vis 1

is my message

I tried $0-xy.pd vis 1 / pd-$0 vis 1 / pd-$0-xy.pd vis 1 / etc...

Here is my patch for clarification.

    Is the "vis 1" coming from outside the abstraction or 

within it?

    If it's coming from outside you could instantiate the 

abstraction every time with a unique $1 ID, and then the "vis 1" could be sent to the appropriate $1-subpatch within whichever xy.pd abstraction you want.

    If you're doing "vis 1" from within the abstraction you 

could do a $0-subpatch within xp.pd and have the "vis 1" control that.

    I hope that's understandable...

Hello all,

I'm working on a XY controller abstraction (just using native PD

objects)

xy.pd

Problem I'm having is that when using messages like "vis 1" to pd-

xy.pd it

applies to all the intances of the abstraction. Is there any way

I can

have that message only effect the instance?

On that note whats the address of the documentation for these

messages?

I'm starting to use them more and more.

I'll be distributing the abstraction when its somewhat done.

Thanks Ben
