Turn on the sharedHilite property of the tabbed button. You can set the menuHistory to an integer to select the tab
set the menuHistory of button "my_tab" to 2 selects the second tab (and will go to that card). If you want to dress up the tabs, you can get the same behavior with radio buttons in a group, with the added advantage that you can set the icon/hilitedIcon of the radio buttons to some images..it hides the OS radio button and just displays the image. -ml > >From: Rodney Tamblyn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: tabbed button question >Date: Sat, 29 Sep 2001 14:02:16 +1200 >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >How do you get the tab hilight to be shared when a tabbed button is >placed in a stack background on multiple cards? > >Experiment: > >Make a tabbed button with three tabs > >Add a script: >on menuPick what >go card what >end menuPick > >Put into a stack background and place on three cards named the same >as the tabs. > >When you click on the tabs you will jump to the named cards.
