sampler patch redesign

Hello. I'm having difficulty with redesigning a patch.

This is my problem:

My composition consists of a custom-made patch called Sampler (which allows a video input source to be recorded, sampled and looped) and a sprite.

Attached is a picture of the custom-made patch (made by tom butterworth) & my composition.

In my composition, the video input is recorded when the inputRecord box is ticked. When you untick it again it stops playing realtime and the video input loops for however long the box was ticked for.

The 'inputlimit' slider sets a limit, in seconds, for the loop you just recorded (if you recorded a loop for longer than the inputlimit slider's value the end will be cut off)

Is there a way to rebuild the composition so the video is always being recorded until you hit the 'record' button and it'll loop for the value of the 'inputLimit' slider?

I have tried but haven't got it to work succesfully. Any help would very appreciated.
