[PD] Dynamic Object Connections through OSC

[marius schebella]

it is possible, but it is tricky.
another way would be to turn on and off connections with spigot or switch~.
anyways, what you want is documented in help - browser - manuals/pd-msg 
(if you have pd-extended).
here's the short version:
put all your dynamically created objects in a subpatch outside the 
subpatch create an object [send pd-mysubpatch]
to wich you send all you commands as messages.
obj 100 100 metro 999 will create a new object at position 100/100.
all your objects get index numbers and you connect 2 objects with
connect ID1 OUTLET1 ID2 INLET2
for example connect 0 0 1 0 will connect the first objects first outlet 
(start counting with 0) to the second's object first inlet.
the difficult part is to keep track of your ID numbers, esp. when you 
add or delete objects. if not, then it should be easy...
