I have the following in a card where I made a small polygon arrow to serve
as a "go next" object. initially it was only on this one card and the hide
cammand in the preopencard handler and the show with dissolve in the
opencard handler, worked fine. but as soon as i selected the graphic and
grouped it and applied it as a background to subsequent cards, the

show grc "go next" with dissolve

Doesn't work. Nothing appears. . .but if i type go next in the message box
it will go to the next card and the grc is no longer hidden.

on preopenCard
  hide  fld "HATitle1"
  hide  fld "HATitle2"
  wait 1 sec
  show button "leftFoot"
  show button "rightFoot"
  set the loc of button "leftFoot" to 742,570
  set the loc of button "rightFoot" to 774,528
  hide image "StandardMouseGray.gif"
  hide grc "go next"
  set the loc of image "TitleGraphic_w_Lion.gif" to -555,-555
end preopenCard
on opencard
  show  fld "HAtitle1" with visual wipe right
  show  fld "HAtitle2" with visual wipe right
  wait 20 ticks
  repeat 8 times
    move button "rightFoot" relative -82,-15 in 15 ticks
    move button "leftFoot" relative -82,-15 in 15 ticks
  end repeat
  show image "StandardMouseGray.gif" with dissolve slowly
  wait 20 ticks
  move image "TitleGraphic_w_Lion.gif"  from 800,-100 to 526,179 in 40 ticks
  show grc "go next" with dissolve slowly
      # the above command is not implemented on screen after
      # having grouped this object. . .but if you go
      # to the next card it is visible.
end openCard

is this normal? Does grouping an object affect its responses to toggling
its vis prop with visual effect applied?
