The example given will work in the version preceeding James Harkins' change. setting the know flag true causes an IdentityDictionary to respond to its elements.
for example:
a = (x:4, y:5, distance:{|self| sqrt(self.x.squared + self.y.squared)});
a.know = true;
a.x.postln;
a.distance.postln;
The example was only meant to point out that isKindOf is usually not
the best way to solve a problem.
Using something like asSomethingThatCanGoInAListPattern which could be
overriddden by something other than
a SequenceableCollection is better. But I think the fix given is not
the right fix for the problem anyway. Pseq(1, inf) should simply be
rejected, not silently converted to something that will work.

Hi James, I do not understand this example nor can I get it to work. @@ is an entry in an Event not a method of it, so Pseq cannot do its stuff. RJKFor example, the following worked until your change: o = (contents: [\a,\b], '@@':{|self,i| self.contents @@ i }); o.know = true; x = Pseq(o, 4).asStream; 9.do { x.next.postln };_______________________________________________ sc-dev mailing list sc-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.create.ucsb.edu/mailman/listinfo/sc-dev
