RE: Urgent problem: group missing keyDown event
Well what I would do on a user interface standpoint more than anythin is
disable questions that are skipped depending on previous answers. In your
example if the user has no phobia then then the phobia related questions are
disabled. I can't really help any more than that without seeing the stack.

Hello all,
I've got a problem. I made a program which poses a couple of
(psychological)
questions to the user. It get the questions from a text file and displays
them one by one on the card. Some questions of them are multiple- choice,
and can (besides of clicking the right answer with the mouse) be chosen by
typing in a number (1,2,3 etc.).
This all works great 'till I make a 'jump' to a question in the list. E.g.
the user says he has no phobia, then the questions meant to find out what
phobia are skipped. Then it's no longer possible to choose an answer with
the keyboard??? A constant shown group should (and does most of the time)
grab the keyDown message, but now, for some reason, doesn't anymore.
If I choose the arrow tool, select the group, and choose the browse tool
again, everything works OK again...
Is this a bug or what? Does anyone know in what order the message goes
through the groups ('cause I've more of them on the card)?
Please help, 'cause this is a bug that has to be fixed on short term...
Thanks in advance for any help,
Sjoerd

If any object in any of these other fields has the focus, then it
seems that messages don't get through to the other groups (whether
explicitly passed or not). I don't know if this classes as a bug, but
I seem to remember this behaving differently in previous versions.
(pre 2.3 ??)
One solution would be to make sure none of the other groups has the focus.
Another solution would be to put the keydown handler in the card
script, if this is feasible. (Easiest solution where possible.)
Perhaps Scott can confirm whether this is a change in behavior.
However, I remember checking this out once and writing a mail
describing the group/background message passing behavior.
I thought it went something like this when the first object receiving
the message was in a group:
object in group
group
card
other groups in order of layer, highest to lowest (i.e. background behavior)
stack
And if the card is the first oject to receive the message then:
card
all groups in order of layer (highest to lowest)
stack
But it seems that (in 2.3.2 anyway) when the first object receiving
the message is in a group, it's like this:
object in group
group
card
stack

Oops. The first line should read:
