Access send/receive "network"

b woods's icon

Apologies for my naivete' but I am new to MaxMSP and its SDK and can't seem to find a reference on this. I am using the SDK to write an object that I would like to have access to messages from "send" objects. I saw a forum question similar to this, but I do not want to create a new "network" or even send messages, just want to be on the receiving end of the already existing "send network". Is that possible?

Hi, you may have noticed when searching the forum that the question came up very often but has not been answered clearly. I have problems to understand andrea agostini's answer in the thread you linked.

Sending something works by finding the internal "through" object, see Luigi's second post here.
I hope someone can help us find a way for an receive inside an external, I don't need it currently but I'm interessted how it might work. Someone?

Thanks for the response, 110L532. I am still confused on how to do this and may have too narrowly defined my problem. I am going to repost this question in a different way and hope I can get help that way. cheers.
