hi there,

trying to use the attached patch - thanks to Cacatoes, to load a large (long length - 10min to be exact) sample into a player...

I need to use four of them, so thought I would add a $0- to the beginning of the message to have individual arrays/tables etc... but keep getting the following errors

error: 0-my_sound_file: no such object
error: 0-my_sound_file: no such object
print: TABLE RESIZE COMPLETE
error: 0-my_sound_file: no such table
... you might be able to track this down from the Find menu.
error: 0-my_sound_file: no such object
print: DONE LOADING FILE

also no audio seems loaded into the table

sorry for my ignorance, any help greatly appreciated

Man, you have to learn more by yourself, these are minor issues ...

Creating new topics every time floods other people who are also seeking for help and probably invested more time reading the doc.

I think that « $0 » story was dealt with on the original topic I linked you to.
If not, this will help:

$0, $1... doesn't work the same according to if it's in a message box or an object box.

Also, take a look at mod's tutorial on abstractions and dollar args for more info:

yes, sorry about the double posting - had a tight deadline and wasn't thinking straight, I totally agree, most annoying. In my confusion and haste I didn't understand and missed some of the original thread you suggested and didn't notice some of the resolves - thanks for the links making sense now - am getting onto it.

thanks a lot for the tutorial link Maelstrom - makes everything clear.

again apologies -
