The subpatch will have a list of gop abstractions that can be automatically created in a parent patch. How can I get the name of the parent patch from the subpatch for the subsequent [send]?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have tried [parentdollarzero]. Does it just generate the random number associated with the parent? This is what it looks like to me. Can this number be used with my dynamic patching [send] in a way of which I am not aware? </div>
<div><br></div><div>On another message board, someone recommended [gf/canvas_*], but I don't have gridflow working nor do I want to include it because I am doing this programming for someone else.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Do any of you have solutions for me? I would greatly appreciate advice!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Sam</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br><a ymailto="mailto:Pd-list@iem.at" href="mailto:Pd-list@iem.at">Pd-list@iem.at</a> mailing list<br>UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> <a href="http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list" target="_blank">http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
