[PD] convert string to message?

[Mike Wozniewski]

Hi.

Perhaps a dumb question... but...

I have a string that is created with the sprintf object, and I'm trying to pass it to an object that expects a message from a message box (specifically, I'm passing to the pointer object).

I get the error:
>  error: pointer: no method for 'traverse-1000-soundobj-info'

but if I put the following into a message box:
   traverse-1000-soundobj-info

and click on it, everything is fine.

How do I convert from string to a message?

Thanks,
Mike
