The first thing to check is that you have a consumer (a pink patch)
connected to the composition loader to pull values through.
Also, make sure that the inputs the composition loader exactly match
the Published inputs of the composition you are trying to load. If you
are creating a composition from a protocol, you can use the dropdown
menu at the bottom of the settings to autoconfigure for that protocol,
and the ports will be named correctly. If you are creating ports
manually, the interface is a bit odd in that it requires you to type
the name first, then push the plus button to add it.
If that doesn't help, you may want to send a simple composition
showing what is not working.

I am trying to get the Composition Loader to work with so far very
limited success. Using the Composition Loader from the Patch
Creator I am not able to get the patch to send any output. It
allows me to choose an input for the Composition Loader but not
matter what I enter as a value no other input values or outputs
become available. After getting nothing out of this patch I copied
the Composition Loader from the Music Visualizer example and tried
to work with this one. This one is a Source (is actually pink)
while the one I get from the Patch Creator says it is a Source but
shows up green as a Tool. I am able to get other compositions to
load by using the copied Composition Loader, but no inputs are
published so I cannot pass any values to the selected file.
What am I doing wrong with the Composition Loader?
