Re: Images and Players in "background" groups
Hi Peter, Thanks for the info. It took a little playing around, but I now have each card loading up properly with it's association image or video file. Thanks!

Have an image control that’s not part of the group on every card or 2. Some other method of dynamically loading the image data into an image that is part of the group, such as on openCard: put URL tURL into image “My Image" of this card where tURL is a path to a local or remote file. Player controls would use similar methods as above.

So the bg flds can all have different values per card, but the images and players cannot! Is this right??

Re: Images and Players in "background" groups
Images and players don’t have a “shared” property to turn on and off such as a field’s sharedText or a button’s sharedHilite property. They’re always shared.

Hi Tim, That would be correct. To have a different image on every card, you could: 1. Have an image control that’s not part of the group on every card or 2. Some other method of dynamically loading the image data into an image that is part of the group, such as on openCard: put URL tURL into image “My Image" of this card where tURL is a path to a local or remote file.

Images and Players in "background" groups
For the first time ever, probably, I have a little project that needs the HC "stack of cards" structure. Have a few buttons and fields in a group, acting a a background and it all works as expected. However, I also have an image and a play in the group/background. Oddly, when I set one card's image via "set the filename of image to URL" it puts that image or video on ALL the cards. So the bg flds can all have different values per card, but the images and players cannot! Is this right??
