Hello Christer. This list is a community. It is friendly, helpful, and there is a certain amount of chat. When that chat becomes excessive, I do ask members to curtail it, however nothing in this thread in any way contravenes the spirit of this list. You were offered some helpful advice.

Just to respond. Thank you for the advices - very helpful. However, experiences with the early versions (say V5-V7) made me avoid the grouping functionality. Maybe because I could not manage the concept too well. So I have given it up and manage it (as do with scaling etc) with additional

Jacque. I do receive them as emails, but the text is not well formed, and the thread is not preserved. So I go to babble to get the context and timing. It would all be fine if we signed our names. Craig -- Sent from:

It works if you receive the list in email, only the nabble archives do that (and maybe some others.) The last person to post is assigned to all posts in the archive. It can change minute to minute. Also, when replying to the list from an email client you may need to adjust your reply

"I have experienced that ungrouping may send the individual objects to random layers. " First, what Klaus said. Second, layer order is preserved pretty well in LC. When you set the layer of the group to top, as Kluas suggests, and then ungroup, all the child controls take the topmost layers,

What if you set the layer of the group to top before ungrouping? set the layer of grp "playerGroup" to top ungroup grp "playerGroup" But, why do you need to ungroup? randy - > On Jan 7, 2018, at 9:32 AM, Pyyhtiä Christer via use-livecode > wrote: > > When
