[maxmsp] Re: jsui + pattr = strangeness...

This is not the way pattr works. You can't use pattr to send any message to an object, only set its value. Not all objects support binding. This jsui doesn't, but it will if you define a set/getvalueof() method. That way you could set the label text with pattr.

In this case, I too would expect an error message when binding the pattr to the jsui (because the jsui doesn't support pattr bindings).
