wow.

That did it.

I keep trying to read large blocks of the dictionary, but there is still so
much to find . . .

We're a long way from hypercard, for which I read the entire book one
afternoon (and still have it)

changing layer within a group by script/ speed of start editing

2015-01-25 Thread Dr. Hawkins
I have a group with four overlapping graphics.

Depending upon what happens, different ones want to be brought to the top
and change the overlap.

I'm currently using start editing/set the layer of zzz to top/stop
editing.  I think it also changes the size.

I can actually see the order in which this is handled on an iphone 6+.
Fast, but visible.

Is start editing expensive?  Is there a better way to do this?

Try using the relayer command;

relayer grc 1 of grp x after grc 2 of grp x

You don't need to start editing with relayer, but you need to be careful not to 
relayer an object to outside the group.
