no, luckily it is not like that (even though people kept requesting it
:-)) (that is exactly what i was referring to in my sidekick on
"set"-able sends)
it is like:
... [symbol newname(
| |
[send ]
that is: if your create a [send] object without(!) a send-name, it will
have a second inlet which can be used to set the send-name.
whatever(!) you send to the first inlet (including "set bla") will be
send to the receiver.
so you can seafely upgrade to 0.40 (and you really should do so; it is
very nice...)
