Machine.add Classes - undefined type 'MyClass'

[pfuentes]

Hi, this problem has been bugging me for the last three days and i'm pretty sure its a very simple fix, which pisses me off...but I have a Notes class for calling frequencies by their note names and register and that tests out fine within the same chuck file, but when i try to Machine.add("Notes.ck") to use within a new chuck file, which also containing my melodic code, chuck doesn't recognize my class Notes. I have Notes x; set, yet i still get [melody]:line(9): undefined type 'Notes'...

why is this happening? i've tried public/private class, and still get the same response. My miscellaneous is also set accordingly. Any ideas?

hi pfuentes. i know it's been a while since you asked, but if you're still wondering...

looking at this example for classes (from here), it seems that public classes in a separate file need to be called at the same time you start your main program. in other words, you need to say "chuck main.ck class.ck" for it to work. sporking and Machine.add are no good.

but i found your question because i have the same question. the examples are pretty old. is there a better way now?

Hi and Welcome to ChucK,

I don't know exactly how this is manage internaly but I have some practical knwoledge about it.

It is not possible to add your class in your main program directly:
for example , main.ck:
