hi marius sorry to switch in so late, but let me mention another approach. if you only have numeric arguments for your abstractions, you could alternatively still use [repeat] and read the different values from a/several table/s. that is what i usually do, when i need - let's say - 1000 cuboids at different positions with different colours. like this you wouldn't need thousands of instances of a certain abstraction, but only one, where you send thousands of messages to for each frame.
don't know, if this would work for what you want, though... roman On Thu, 2008-04-10 at 13:47 -0400, marius schebella wrote: > thanks for all the answers, I guess I am really looking for something > like actionscript for pd, based on lua or python.
