How can I switch between patches with Next/Back buttons in a standalone app?

Hi everyone,

I’m a beginner working on a standalone Max app, and I’m trying to build a simple navigation system. I want users to be able to click a “Next” button to switch from one patch (like page1.maxpat) to another (like page2.maxpat).

I’d also love to include a “Back” button so users can move between pages, kind of like a basic multi-level or menu-style interface.

I’ve tried asking ChatGPT, but it hasn’t been very helpful with this. I haven’t found any tutorials that cover this specific setup either, so if anyone has suggestions, examples, or even a tutorial to point me in, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
