You could wrap it inside an abstraction which has a running counter stored in a [value MYOBJECTCOUNT] object. "MYOBJECTCOUNT" should be unique. The counter then gets incremented with each new instance of your abstraction. You cannot delete objects though without the counter getting out of sync unless you use a Pd with [closebang] or so. For various obvious reasons, this is not a very good general solution, though. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
