[tips&tricks] don't you never name abstractions like objects

Hi altogehter,

Just one hint: You should never name an abstraction (for example for using it in a bpatcher) like an existing object.

I did that with the name "slider" because I had an bpatcher wich should display a special slider. But everywhere I used normal slider_objects it told me "no such object".

Took me some time to find out why and so I want to safe you that time...

cheers,
ring

Don't name anything like plain vanilla objects : it gets for jpeg, txt files, js, java etc...
