that's also a good point!
it's just that cyclone follows this max logic and we actually did change
some of that from the older versions. Some objects in MAX have obligatory
arguments and don't create if you don't give it any arguments. In Max
that's fine cause you can still call the help file, in
The thing is that when you're designing the abstraction, before it
exists, when you're bringing it to life, in its creation process, you
might be working on it under the top level,
I see!
and it's annoying to have the object not created.
IMO, there is no reason why an object should refuse
oh, by the wayt, in the end [play~ float] was not illegal in MAX, so I just
made it create the object in Pd as well :)

not really.
The thing is that when you're
Yes, that's the problem. I should have said it all works fine if this
is an abstraction loaded with actual arguments. But I still wonder if
there's anything I can do.
There is: just don't do it :-) It doesn't make sense to use $1 in the
context of a top-level canvas (until we get

Yes, that's
Hi, when using A_GIMME I can test if the type is A_FLOAT or A_SYMBOL,
but if I give it a "$1", for instance, it's treated as a float.
Well, it depends on the actual value of "$1". In the case of
[cyclone/play~ $1], the "$1" is replaced by its actual value before
being passed to the object.
Hi, when using A_GIMME I can test if the type is A_FLOAT or A_SYMBOL, but
if I give it a "$1", for instance, it's treated as a float. Now, if I have
'A_DEFSYM' instead of 'A_GIMME', then '$1' is considered as a symbol.
The problem is that I have to check if the first argument of cyclone/play~
is
