One of the ways about knowing what I'm trying to accomplish is to
download the stack and have a look at it.

Without knowing exactly what you're trying to accomplish, one way is to display only a
few rows of buttons beyond what will fit comfortably on a screen, and when scrolling
takes place, "recycle" the rows around to the end (or beginning) with new
glyphs applied.
Assuming all the characters are from a single font and you're trying to display
glyphs in an organized fashion, a better way might be to display all the
glyphs in a field with extra column and row spacing to essentially form a grid.
This is how I display glyphs from icon fonts, which is more efficient than
using thousands of controls on a card.

What a nuisance:
There I was, merrily churning through the button titles for my Unicode
Reference thing
[ http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=29069 ] which needed at least
1600 buttons
that were 23 pixels deep layered underneath each other.
What happens?
At the "Magic Number" of 32xxx I get a "this is not a number" message.
As a result I ended up restricted to 1400 buttons.
This is very bad as the Unicode glyph tables are many, and in an ideal world
I'd like 8703 buttons. But 8703 * 23 = 200169
That would involve groupig a "stack" of buttons that was 200169 pixels high.
Would be grateful if anyone knows a way to circumvent the limitation.
