I have a demo that has a great deal of functionality in Metacard. This is
great for demonstration purposes, however it requires a presenter to walk
through it. I would like to automate the 'walk through' process; record all
of the mouse movements and mouse clicks and turn it into a Macro. Then I c
of each
end mouseUp
etc.
as for spaces between column text, there is probably an elegant way of
scripting it.. however for my purposes I just put an underscore character
"_" between words.

Richard,
I hope you are right...the web and HTML has set back user interface design
back at least 5 years. My dream is to see the rich interactive interface
that MC provides either in or outside a browser window.

A number of us took the "advanced flash" course which covers programming
interactivity. It is extremely convoluted and cumbersome to create simple
interactions i.e. widget based. Even our seasoned programmers came out
shaking their heads. .. It is great for simple animations however.

groups - which contain objects with their own layer numbers. Is there an
easy way to relayer the group and its contained objects?
There is probably a better way to architect this but I am after a quick &
dirty mockup...

I have run into the same problem on both Mac & PC. It seems the only way to
guarantee your files don't get overwritten, is to copy or back them up on
the desktop (outside of MC).

Thanks for clearing that up...Its a very hidden feature for something that
is so commonly used. I didn't find any reference to it in "help". Also
discovered that if no label is attached to the group you get the sunken in
