Hi,
I can't resolve this - in the example patch folder 2.control.examples
the example 10.more.messages has to the lower right a message; number9 $1; 9bis $2
which generates the above message when activated. the other examples
with $1 and $2 in the same patch, for instance just before the
[print] object work fine. I wouldn't see anything wrong in the example. The same error is generated in example 13.locality in the same folder
(upon opening the example). I'm aware that this example is a
different case because the $ sign is used in an object whereas in the
previous example it is in a message box. However it may be the same
error?
there's nothing wrong with the behaviour you are experiencing. the thing is: you shouldn't click directly on the message-box containing the $args, but rather click on the message-box above it. the $1 and $2 will be "magically" replaced by 45, resp. 67, which is what the example is trying to show you. dreictly clicking on the message-box will not provide any arguments to replace the $args, this is why you get the error-message.
