Having red as many mailing list posts as I could find, I didn't find how to use a local variable along with a creation time variable.
I have a [soundfiler] object which needs two arguements: the sample name and the array to load the sample to.
The abstraction is called with a creation time arguement, so the $1 is reserved. When I use the openpanel in order to receive the symbol (string) of the path of the .wav file I want to load, I cannot pass it as an variable value in no other variable than $1.
I guess with "creation time variable" you mean what also or more often is called "creation argument", yes? (Creation) arguments are *only* evaluated in [object boxes], but not in [messages(. As you probably send a message to soundfiler, you can still use $1 in that message. Message $-variables are independent from abstraction arguments.
See attached example.
