Hi

quick question regarding receive.

is there anyway to dynamically 'set' the object that receive is receiving?

in max (ya ya I know, im just trying to redo some of my old patches) one could do

:

'message' (name of origin send) | | 'prepend set' | | | 'receive' | | |

to destination

but since receive when instantiated with no argument doesnt have an input message, err.. you know.

is there any other object that can do this as simply, or a work around with messages that I havent thought of?

thanks much!

ps here is a sample from max where I find its really useful:

max v2; #N vpatcher 652 380 1042 743; #P user ubumenu 54 67 65 1050017801 0 1 1 0; #X setrgb 0 0 0 100 100 100 50 50 50 4 4 4 141 141 141 112 112 112; #X add none; #X add 1_movie; #X add 2_movie; #X add 3_movie; #X add 4_movie; #X prefix_set 0 0 <none> 0; #P window setfont "Sans Serif" 9.; #P newex 81 204 61 196617 gate; #P newex 106 124 21 196617 t 1; #P message 81 124 14 196617 0; #P newex 81 92 35 196617 sel off; #P hidden outlet 81 237 15 0; #P hidden newex 132 124 60 196617 prepend set; #P hidden newex 132 153 59 196617 r; #P comment 133 59 39 196617 source; #P connect 8 1 4 0; #P connect 4 0 5 0; #P fasten 6 0 7 0 111 172 86 172; #P connect 5 0 7 0; #P connect 7 0 3 0; #P connect 4 1 6 0; #P fasten 4 1 2 0 111 116 137 116; #P connect 2 0 1 0; #P connect 1 0 7 1; #P pop;
