hmm, do you want to know when exactly Pd decides whether it already has the "drip" objectclass registered or whether it needs t invoke the loader-mechanism? an objectclass (or rather: it's name) is basically a method for the "pd_objectmaker". if it has no method registered for "drip", then it will fallback to it's anything-method (new_anything), which will call the registered loaders and finally tries to open the "drip" as an abstraction. mfgasr IOhannes _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
