Jacque. I actually never tried using a stack as a menu. So I just did. But in both v6.7 and 8.1.3, if I create and name a new stack, add a single button to it, and set the "menuName" of the button to the stack name, as soon as I click on the button, LC crashes and quits. Was it something I said?

Ah. Have tried to set the size, top or bottom of the stack window to accommodate? This should be easy to manage based on the parameters of your selection gadgetry. I am not quite clear how you are selecting the various buttons, but a single handler in the card script ought to suffice. Craig

When you shrink the group, it does indeed move things around, so you'll need to do the math to adjust the vscroll and hscroll. Something like this.. *set* the hscroll of me to the hscroll of me -(the left of me - the left of the target ) *set* the vscroll of me to the vscroll of me -( the top of
