Structures

OK, so the answer to this question is probably in a FAQ somewhere; but I can't find it.

I remember reading something about how Javascript patches don't necessarily evaluate on every frame -- that they needed some kind of dynamic input (like Patch Time or something) to make them do so. Is this true?

Also: would the opposite case be true? -- that if you use a JS patch to generate a Structure for example, that it won't be regenerating on every frame, but rather only if you change any of its inputs?

Thanks for any tips, enlightenment

Hi

I'm trying to copy a nested structure in the Javascript patch so i can manipulate it. The function i came up with does work, but it messes up the order of the structure.

function cloneObject(oldObject) {
 
   var newObject = new Object()
 
     for (i in oldObject) {
      if (typeof oldObject[i] == 'object') {
         newObject[i] = new cloneObject(oldObject[i]);
      }
      else newObject[i] = oldObject[i];
    }
    return newObject
}

Anyone has a suggestion? i'm kinda at the end of my javascript knowledge here. thanx
