Regarding id caching, I had an idea that one might be able to use it to
emulate the performance gain of a 'repeat for each...' style structure on
controls.
Referencing a control by number or name will iterate through the controls
of the card until it gets to the specified one. Thus a loop of the

I am sorry to report that the pageranges property of fields is still broken in
7.0.
Create a field and place this in a button:
on mouseUp
put empty into fld 1
set the height of fld 1 to 60
repeat with i = 1 to 10
put i cr after fld 1
end repeat
set the spaceabove line 2

My guess would be data grids and anything using behaviors.

The improved field control of LC 5.4 and 6.0 and up has been extremely useful
to me. I use StyledText Array in much the same way as Trevor -- applying
format changes. And metadata attached to field chunks is a great feature
that's very useful for educational content creators.
Overall, the field

It seems it serves a very different purpose than htmlText. It's a new
addition and folks find it useful, so I wouldn't expect it to be deprecated.

It is a trivial example - but the speed-up of 50X seems significant.
In relative terms it certainly seems so, but
Always valuable to read your words here, Fraser. Meeting you was one of
the key highlights for me at the conference.

I use the styled arrays quite often when creating content, applying styles and
taking advantage of the metadata. I can’t comment on the speed.
I have a tendency to think in terms of arrays so this is pretty comfortable for
me.

Thanks. I still don't understand how I might use it, but I'm glad
