I'm creating sliders n things to control various aspects of my character, but I'd love to create a toggle button above my char that I click to pull up the blendshape window and click again to close it. can anyone tell me how to do this. its probably really muppet easy but thats me!!!

How about this:

open command: BlendShapeEditor;

close command: deleteUI blendShapePanel1Window;

U could check for the existance of the panel, and if it´s already there, then close it, if not open it!

ps: not sure if U can have multiple blend shape windows open. Tried it but didn´t work. That´s why I left the name as is...

cool, thats great but how do I put it into my locator as an attribute. it just by default becomes a slider?

Ahh, you want to attach it to a locator? I thought you meant as a button in some kind of UI... So, if understand correct: You want to have a locator in the scene, and when you select it the blend shape editor opens, right? Sounds like you need a scriptJob. Look in the MEL docs for info about this (gotta´buzz now, sorry!)
