selecting a group

[Zac Elston]

here's another problem I can't understand.

make a stack, make some things, group the things in two different groups
with 5 things (2 in xthings and 3 in zthings)

on mouseup
  put empty into mylist
  repeat with X = 1 to the number of graphics in group "xthings"
    put (X && the name of graphic X  && the ID of graphic X  && return) after mylist
  end repeat
 
  repeat with Z = 1 to the number of graphics in group "zthings"
    put (Z && the name of graphic Z  && the ID of graphic Z  && return) after mylist
  end repeat
  answer mylist
end mouseup

the output looks like the group is switched since the number in the first column is correct to the number of items in the group, bu the name and ID is wrong.  It's like the request for graphic 1 is still being made from the previous group.

being specific solves this

on mouseup
  put empty into mylist
  repeat with X = 1 to the number of graphics in group "xthings"
    put (X && the name of graphic X of group "xthings" && the ID of graphic X of group "xthings" && return) after mylist
  end repeat
 
  repeat with Z = 1 to the number of graphics in group "zthings"
    put (Z && the name of graphic Z of group "zthings" && the ID of graphic Z of group "zthings" && return) after mylist
  end repeat
  answer mylist
end mouseup


I'd really like to be able to just call an item in a group without have to explictly reference the group.  is this possible?

thanks
