Hi Forum

Very simple question.

Sometimes when I'm building a patch my [send] objects won't communicate between abstractions or inner patch settings [pd blahblah].

Since I'm using or messages I've also tried taking out all the send boxes and re doing them wondering if there was a code error somewhere.

I have on occasions re-built the whole patch and then it works ....

Has anyone a simple suggestion which may throw some light on this?

Thanks in advance.

$0 is only for local sends within a patch and its subpatches. Abstractions will have their own $0 values, unique to each instance of the abstraction that you create.

Ok, what does that mean in real terms, and how can I check the communication between the patches, abstractions etc.

Thanks.

You already know http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-5853-abstraction-why-use-etc , so I don't see what is still lacking you ...

Hi Nau

I changed my $ numbers just before coming back and reading this post. Naturally as expected everything is running again.

I'll re-read the link, which I guess I must have forgotten .... gulp!

Thanks again.
