Saving window space

hi i want to built an 3 layer video mixer and need more space. Is ist possible to collapse one layer with the functions in one bpatcher and use a button to switch through the 3 layers with only use the one bpatcher as a mask for adjustmenst of the layer. instead of usung the 3 bpatchers beside?
thanks

Note that you need to use scripting names for your bpatchers, like I did with the pictsliders---just check out the names in the Inspector, which are pictslider[1], pictslider[2], etc., so you'd replace them with whatever you want and access the number with the incredibly handy sprintf.
