Moving objects in max like a reacTable

Jason Orri's icon

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew a way of creating something LIKE a reacTable in max. Such that objects can be picked up and placed in proximity to eachother to create some kind of reaction? Any ideas at all are welcome - the objects could be gifs with sub patches controlling sliders or anything!!

Thanks, hope to hear some interesting ideas

Also, thanks Devo! I thought that might be a goer but wasn't sure how far the LCD could be customised.

Hi all, I was wondering if there was any way to replace the paintoval dots at the bottom of this patch with pictures - I can't figure out how I might do it though. The p panel > p ovals is where I would guess I could do this but I'm having no luck at all...

Any help would be greatly appreciated in this specific context.
p.s. thanks again to DEvo for pointing me towards this work.
