[maxmsp] No Such Object...

 From what I understand the following is happening:

A certain OS doens't allow special characters in filenames. That's why  
such externals have a different name in the file system. [*~] is  
actually called times~. Max uses an alias system to load the correct  
externals. these alias-files are called objectmappings and are stored  
in the /Cycling '74/init folder, where they're scanned at startup.  
have a look at audio-objectmappings.txt to see what i mean.

When building a standalone from a patch which contains such an alias- 
file you might need to manually include the objectmappings file with  
the collective build editor -> Include File command. Now the runtime  
should be able to load this.
In my version of max 4.6.3 this doesn't occur, so either you're  
running a different version of max or somehow your filepreferences are  
damaged.
