Thanks for all the input… meanwhile more sleuthing here… has revealed the problem (not the solution, yet…)
Note the architecture… where I think the problem lies loader.livecode # inserts backscript with the create and delete mobile scroller pName where pName is the object, in this case, a group "portal-links" on card 1 of Stack A -- home.livecode… # card 1 and the open card handler fires: createScroller "portal-links" Stack B - "Surprise-Me" # card one of this stack uses the same model/objects as card 1 of the home stack: ergo another group "portal-links" but with different links… but group had the same name in Stack A as in Stack B OK so… when I load the app on the phone… the loader stack opens home.livecode and this runs command CreateScroller pName -- scrolling regions,groups, fields if not isMobile() then exit CreateScroller deleteMobileControl pName -- delete any existing put (the rect of control pName) into tRect etc… So far so good. I can scroll the portal links group on Stack A… ha. me thinks all is well… UNTIL I click the button on the portal links that opens the second Stack B "Surprise-me" which also issue another command in the card script (note that I am not closing stack home… perhaps I should) createScroller "portal-links" it fails… to scroll… and when I go back to stack A "home" the portal-links group also fails to scroll. ergo: deleteMobileControl pName has effectively wiped out the scroller "portal-links" in Stack A while at the same time failing to create a new scroller "portal-links on card 1 of Stack B Now neither the portal-links group on Stack A or B will scroll. So I'm off not to study all the posts you all made… this is interesting and important…because if we intend to use a template model for instantiating common elements across stack… we need some how for the backscript to know what object is *really* the target. (obviously) tks!
