Then edit the group, adding objects where you want them. I made a metamap set that scrolls via mousemove techniques. I could have added scrollbars to the group, but I didn't want them in that case. The large map is 3ft x 4 ft. That's waaay offscreen and even waaay waaaaay larger than the window it's in. As such, it's a big file, and not practical for emailing. However, you're in luck. I made a demo that shows how it works, same basic scripts. I added a couple of buttons just now by editing the group. This I can send if you want to take a look. It scrolls via the scrollbars _or_ the mousemove routine, which backscrolls the scrollbars correctly at the same time. Might give you some ideas. OK to send it to you offlist?
