Hi, I wanted to know if there is a way you can use more than one knob within pict slider. I am wanting to make a game where kids can place shapes into the correct shape hole. The holes will obviously be the background picture and the shapes will be the knobs, however i can only get one knob and therefore placing another pictslider over this one will ignore the one behind it. I probably do not make any sense but if anybody understands what I am saying help is much appreciated. Thanks

you can exchange the source picture file by a message to the pictslider,

you can give different pictsliders different names and change the layering

by scripting (see [thispatcher] helpfile),

or you could put 10 or so different pictsliders into a [bpatcher] and move

its position so that different ones are visible.

Excellent thanks for them great ideas. The first one seems more appropriate. What is the message to the pictslider in order to replace the source picture of the knob? Thanks

for that and other similar questions, if the Help file or docs don't tell you (they should), you can usually check the Inspector or click the left inlet to see the message. (Max 5)

Sounds like a cool idea. Am into using Max for educational games/apps too. Lots of potential there!
