See the Maxobj section in JavascriptingMax.pdf.

An easy way would be to be to give your [coll ] instance a name (let  
say "mySuperColl_hider"), define in your js file a loadbang function  
like this:

var myColl;
function loadbang ()
{
	myColl = this.patcher.getnamed("mySuperColl_hider");
}

and send messages to the coll like this:

function foobar()
{
	...
	myColl.message (...);
	...
}

If you need to get values, you may have a look at this thread:

I know Jeremy B. compiled  a [js] version with a get function, but I  
dont know wether it has made its way to a public release...

In Max5, things may have changes, but I couldn't find any serious  
documentation yet.
