1) Will there be any enhancements in the way that Revolution deals with LAYERING of objects and groups? Will we be able to 'send backward' and 'bring forward' inside a group?setting the relayerGroupedControls to true allows you to relayer the object right out of the group, so that can be a bit dangerous. As Ken suggested, going into group edit mode first is better, but if you prefer to use the relayerGroupedControls, then you need to start by working out the layers of top & bottom objects in the group and not moving anything beyond those boundaries.
2) What are going to be the capabilities of the new 'spreadsheet' control? More precisely:I imagine that it will be possible to access data in the same way we can now e.g. item 8 of line 7 of field "Table". To get a range, you can find the number of characters of each chunk and get the data between those characters. Rev 2 may make this easier but it can already be done.
a) Will we be able to access the data on a specified range automatically (ie, "get from row 8, col 2 to row 40, col 3"?)
A few weeks ago, Kevin asked for help scripting column header buttons and someone (Chipp?) provided a solution. I imagine that will be incorporated in Rev 2 but if you want it now, search the list and you should find it already available.
b) Will we be able to put any data other than strings inside cells? - ie, images, graphics?
c) Will the appearance of the spreadsheet be customisable, and if so, to what extent? - will I be able to assign custom column/row labels, will I be able to colour the background of specific cells, will I be able to hide/show divider lines ?
Your other questions are beyond me, but I hope you have enough info now to make your design choices.
