Hello,

I am building a patch where a sound is sent to a table contained inside of another abstraction. the - resize command does not seem to be doing the job i need the array to shrink and expand in relation to the wav. file it is being fed. this works from within the same window but i cant get it to work from outside the window from which it sits.

i hop i am being clear enough here,

thanks in advance,

peanutboy

there should be no reason why it won't work.

is the array name something like " $0-sample " ??

if so the $0 will be unique to the abstraction, and will change each time you load pd. the $0 value for the abstraction, and the parent patch will also be different.

if that's not the problem, then check again to see that haven't made a simple error in your message creation.

there is no reason why -resize will not work for abstractions if you use it correctly.

i am trying to use -resize with tabwrite~

any reason why that wouldn't work?

it is set up like

____________ __________main mindow
abstraction

yeah, tabwrite doesn't work like that. right-click on a tabwrite object to see its help file.

what you want is [soundfiler]
