hey listers, i was wondering if anyone here can easily tell me how to message PD from another object, or to point me to information along those lines? we're assuming communication via netsend/netreceive.<div><br></div>
<div>i would love to see an example of the following:</div><div><br></div><div>1. how to open/instatiate a PD object or abstraction inside a canvas, as if you were creating an object via the gui</div><div>2. how to connect one created object to another purely through messaging</div>
<div><br></div><div>i have tried opening a PD patch as text to decode the text. i can see the object creation messages pretty well, but the logic underlying the 'connect' messages is a little confusing.</div><div>
<br></div><div>what i'd like to see in PD as this happens is objects being created, placed on the canvas, and connected to other objects without any user interaction needed.</div><div> any place to go or threads to check for more info on how to do this?</div>
<div><br></div><div>thanks in advance,</div><div><br></div><div>scott</div>
