$1 in messageboxes doesn't mean the same as $1 in objectboxes. In
messageboxes, $ refers to arguments of the incoming messages in that
messagebox's inlet, and not to the enclosing abstraction's arguments.  
Because of that, you'd have to put this in your abstraction:

[loadbang]
 |
[symbol $1]
 |
[open $1}
 |
...

Where [] means objectbox (Ctrl+1) and [} means messagebox (Ctrl+2).
