Im a very basic basic user of pure data.
I know how to add music and video using
Bang
Openpanel
etc etc

but when I close and open the file I have to go open panel and search for the video/music location all over again.
Was told to add a message box and put in the file location,
and it will need a bang.
but what do I attach it to??
Do I go
bang attached to
message box w/location attached to
open panel

or do i get rid of openpanel??

Help!!

try this:

[bang(
|
[openpanel]
|
[set open $1(
|
[ (
|
[pix_film]

( by the way, in case you didn't realize, [bang( is a message box, as is [set ....( and then [ ( is just an empty message box. )
[bang (

next time, instead of clicking on the top bang to load the file, you can just click on the message box directly leading into [pix_film(

(don't forget to save your patch first though!)

also, if you want it to automatically load, you can connect a [loadbang] object to that message box too.
