I need to put one button that will trigger the next ‘slide’ and show the buttons. I could do it with pictctrl and putting all the pictures on top of each-other but the screen I am using is quite small and it would result in quite a bit of clutter. Any suggestions?

In particular, the part of the help file labeled “patcher more”

Also many message to [thispatcher], like bringtofront and sendtoback. If you use bpatchers (which adds files but keeps multiple controls in a single object) then these messages could be used quite well for what you’re envisioning.

If you do have a stack of similar objects, though, probably you’ll want everything fully opaque :)

Is it possible to put every ‘slide’ in a bpatcher and then control which bpatcher is visble with a tab object?

Now, I want to do it with a bpatcher, how do I have to call the bpatchers then? I

Any help?

EDIT: Ok, managed to open it but I do not get any clearer. I just want 8 bpatchers superimposed, 8 layers. Then I want to be able to send on the the front and the other to the back. is there an easier way then the CNMAT way? I cannotblieve that it ould be that hard.

Embed this “scroller” bpatcher in your parent patch. Now you can send offset messages to the scroller bpatcher to bring different areas of your patcher into view. I use this technique in the top section of my Gyre program.

between 8 different patches in fullscreen mode.
it is triggered by buttons which are on all patches or by a key command.
that is fun.

Lets say my patcher is named slide1 How does the syntax look like:

script bringtofront slide1
send this message to [thispatcher]

here is the module i use.
 
make 2-8 patchers, put them to fullscreen and save.

load up one instance of my bpatcher in al of them. preferrably on the same position. :D

hook up the first outlet of my module to a [thispatcher] in your first screen (=patch), the
second in the second and so on.

p.s.
we´re talking about switching between whole patchers, not a bpatcher _object_.
i think it is actually “front” … see my bpatcher or the reference fpr [thispatcher]

I managed to do it with the front message, not bringtofront, and I need to have fullscreen enabled to be able to switch between patches

Here’s an example using the offset message.
