send a message that says "hidden 1" to make an item invisible, and "hidden 0" to make it visible.

This doesn’t work?

Make sure the patcher window is locked.

If you will work through the Max Tutorials, most of these types of questions will be answered for you. It really is the best way to get started with Max.

So you are saying you need a bang to turn on a toggle? I’m pretty sure the answer is in the question…

… you showed me how to make a picture disapear by turning a togle on-what i want to know is how to make that picture appear by turning the toggle on. loadmess 1 doesnt seem to be able to connect to anything, maybe you could send a patch if im being completely silly?

sorry for my noobness!
