    Is there any way to get around the problem that [pix_mix] doesn't work when there is no video running at the left input?

    I find this object very confusing. But I am trying to build some basic VJ software here, and I need to be able to not have the video running all the time at both channels.

    Is there maybe a way I can use pix_image in on one of the channels, and have it pretend it is a video?

    Am I to understand that (on windows) puredata and gem_video can only play files in avi, and possible mov containers? So that straight mpeg-files is not possible to play?

    Sorry for such a basic question, but I thought that since I have a mpeg2 direct show filter installed, I should be able to open mpeg-files. But that might only be in an avi-container then?

    As I am writing this, I feel I should test before I ask, but, others might wonder as well.

    I know I have read about this, but I have forgotten.

    I have an abstraction with an array (array1),
    but I want to use multiple instances of that abstraction in my main patch,
    and that gives me a warning about array1: mutiply defined

    How do I do automatic naming or how to I hide array1 from the instances, so that it does not get confused?

    Hi,

    scary question,
    but is there any way that pureData can read something from the windows registry?

    Or would I maybe have to write my own component in C for that?

    I am just starting out with pureData, reading what I can, and trying to figure out how the whole thing work.

    But, there is one change I think could be useful, to the system.
    I am not sure if this is the right place, but here goes.

    In the world of electronics, sliders/pot-meters usually have a range of say 0 - 1. But they usually also have two outputs. On the one side you would get 0 - 1, and on the other one you would get the inverse.

    So when a slider is all the way to the left it would be 0 on the left output, and 1 on the right output. And vice versa.

    Now, this could of course be done by adding some calculations to an extra output connection, but then you would have to adjust more stuff if you edit the range of the slider.

    Just a suggestion, or though.

    Think I figured it out now.
    And I would attach my patches, if I knew how to.

    Yeah, I found out.
    Thanks..

    But now a different problem occurs.
    Since, I read that messages don't understand $0 directly, and I have to put it in an object first.

    But I also have different data coming to the message, like i.e.

    I have an array called $0-array

    [expr 1*2]
    | [$0]
    | \
    [pack f f ]
    |
    [;
    $2-array resize $1(

    But that does not work.
    I get 0-array no surch object.

    I think I will revisit this when I get a better grasp of the whole pureData-concept.
    Coming from a text-based-programming background this is all a bit confusing, a bit annoying, but also fun.

    Anyway, yes, saturno, I think you are onto what I was talking about.
