Hi List, Thanks in advance for your patience with this long, detailed post. My currently non-SA app has an offscreen utility substack that it uses to convert PICT files to JPG files. The substack has 1 card with 1 image object. Its image object has lockLoc = true, alwaysBuffer = true, and som

Jonathan, I don't know the algorithm but, as a three year user, I can tell you about the interface: There is a list of all objects on the card, including background groups. The objects are listed as layered, layer 1 at the top of the list. You relayer objects on the card by dragging their names

Navigator sets the relayerGroupedControls to true (if necessary) and then simply sets the layers as appropriate. I don't remember the details of the algorithm off the top of my head, but I believe I just figured out what the layers should be and set them, taking into account that setting so

The only method I know of, is to move your subgroup to the bottom of the group, then move all the other subgroups, in their current order, to the bottom of the group. When you do this, your desired subgroup will wind up on top, without any ownership changes. On 2/2/06, Eric Chatonet <[EMAIL PROTEC
