Execute Javascript Exposes the Javascript language and some Max specific extensions. The js object can be instantiated with a javascript filename or with numerical arguments to specify the number of outlets and inlets respectively. The default number of outlets and inlets are both 1. Cycling '74 Max Languages js: Inlet 0 TEXT_HERE js: Inlet 1 TEXT_HERE js: Outlet 0 TEXT_HERE Javascript source file name Specifies the name of a text file to be used as the Javascript source. If no argument is specified, it will not initially have any Javascript associated with it. You can still open a text window and edit and save the Javascript source, but unless you recreate the object with the saved source filename as an argument, the file will not be used when a patch containing the js object is loaded. Number of inlets and/or outlets If no filename is present as an argument, the number of inlets and outlets is specified. If one int argument is present, the number of desired outlets is specified. If two int arguments are present, the first number specifies the number of outlets and the second number specifies the number of inlets. Script arguments Following the optional filename or number of outlets and inlets, any symbols or numbers can be entered that will be assigned to the Javascript variable jsarguments. jsarguments[0] is the filename entered, and jsarguments[1] is the first typed-in argument following the filename. The Javascript expression jsarguments.length will be one more than the number of typed-in arguments Send a bang to the Javascript Invokes the function named bang if defined. Call the msg_int function Invokes the function named msg_int if defined. Call the msg_float function Invokes the function named msg_float if defined. Evaluate and call a function Performs the same as anything. Evaluate and call a function Invokes the function with the message name, assigning the message arguments to the arguments to the function. For example, if the object has a function named xyz defined, the message xyz 1 2 3 would invoke the xyz function with arguments 1 2 and 3. Watch for changes in the source file The message autowatch, followed by a 1, turns on file watching for the Javascript source file. When file watching is on, the file is recompiled automatically when it is modified. This allows you to use an external editor for your Javascript file. When you save the file, the js object will notice. autowatch 0 turns off file watching. Recompiles the current file Recompiles the current file. Delete a named property The word delprop, followed by a name, deletes the named property. Change the editing window's font size Changes the font-size of the text used in the editing window which contains the object's Javascript source file. Report a property's value The word getprop, followed by a name, outputs the value of the property name stored in the object out the left outlet. Call the loadbang function Invokes the function named loadbang if defined. This message is sent when the file is loaded. Open a window for Javascript editing Opens the text window where the object's Javascript source file can be edited. Set a named property's value The word setprop, followed by name and one or more names or numbers, sets the named property to what follows the name. For example, after sending setprop xyz 1 2 3 to a js object. the xyz property would have a value of the list 1 2 3. Test passed messages Allows for the testing of messages passed to functions within the Javascript source file. Close the editing window Closes the text window where the object's Javascript source file is edited. Enable parameter mode handling Enables use of this object with Max for Live Parameters. Note that this implementation does not include the traditional web browser specific extensions that are often associated with Javascript. All messages listed below can be sent to any inlet of the js object. The Javascript inlet property reveals the inlet that received the message that invoked the currently running script. Numbers, lists, or symbols are sent out the js object's outlets when the Javascript code executing within the js object invokes the outlet function.
