Re: selecting a group

[Sarah]

You will have to be more specific if you use this syntax. Your card obviously has multiple graphics and unless you specify that you are referring to a graphic by it's number within a group, when you ask for graphic Z or graphic X, it just takes the number as specifying how they are layered on the card. As far as I know, there is no way to set a "default group" so that every reference points to that group rather than the card in general.

Cheers,
Sarah

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
