Actually, my example does invoke the "background" concept by referring to "this bg". You can refer to any background; for example, "the number of cards in bg foo". The critical distinction is that if you want the number of cards that a group is placed on, you need to refer to the group as a background the way HyperCard does. Referring to a "group" assumes the referent is the card and you get back only the groups placed on the current card. Referring to "background" assumes the referent is the stack the way HyperCard does it. Though the groups themselves are the same objects either way, the point of reference changes depending on the terminology in the script.if the number of cds in this bg > 1then answer "I'm shared."without evoking the "background" concept? the number of cds to which group "foo" is attached.
