I guess what I was thinking is that the various groups are positioned
edge to edge to make them 'side by side', kind of like a 3-dimensional
patchwork quilt, or a technicolor dreamcoat. Perhaps what you are
saying is that positioning two groups still needs to remain within the
32767.

Thanks Jim for the input. Yes, because of Rev's limitation, I will
have to redesign using something like what you describe. But given
my particular application, keeping all images side-by-side would
have been far preferable and simpler.

Rather than worry about maximums and future changes that could hamper
performance, why not make several smaller groups that 'overlap' in a
collage of sorts, then move all the groups as one?
Maybe I am missing the point, so let me know.

The Stack Inspector states that the default maximum width of a stack
is 65535. However, on my Mac I can't set the width of a stack to
greater than 32767 pixels (half of 65534.) Similarly, on page 49 of
the User's guide, the "Maximum size of an object" is given as
"Unlimited". But I can't set the width of an object to greater than
32767.
What is bizarre is that I can make a control 65534 pixels wide by
making the rect of the control (for example) -32767, 10, 32767,100.
However, if I try to make the rect of the stack "-32767, 10,
32767,100" Revolution crashes or resizes to a seemingly random rect.
Are these stated limits actually incorrect or am I misunderstanding
something? Does it work correctly in Windows (maybe this is a Mac
problem)? Does anyone know a workaround to that 32767 limit? And out
of curiosity, what is the significance of that number? Will it soon/
ever change?
I am designing a stack that consists of a single normal-sized card
that contains a normal-sized group whose lockloc is set to true. The
group contains many images placed side-by-side next to one another.
One can scroll to any picture almost instantly by using the group's
HScrollbar. This stack is great but sometimes there are so many
images in the group that the formattedwidth of the group is greater
than 32768 -- or would be, but I can't get to that point while
setting up the stack. All kinds of strange things happen.
Incidentally 65535 would be wide enough to accommodate my needs, so
if Revolution simply worked as stated, it would be fine. Any ideas/
comments?
