Hi,
I have created a patch that can be loaded and controlled via a canvas dialog (with a graph on parents activated). This method works nicely to edit numbers but not messages.
Basically, I want to have a patch in which the user can enter the name of a sound file to be loaded and send to readsf with that message:

"open file_name.wav $1, 1"

This will be triggered by a number box that will start the file at a specified place.

I cannot find a user-friendly way to edit the file_name (without editing the sub patch.)

Thanks
Jen,

You might need a symbol atom gui box.
Add -> symbol
Then type any filename in Run mode

Thanks 60 Hz, this solves part of my issue (I will post the rest in another thread).
