Hi,
I am actually getting somewhere. I managed to create a large bunch of buttons and get them cycling through the random colours.
Fortified with my success I decided to script the creation of an array of rectangles, 62x25 of them.
This took rather a long time.
I have not yet worked out how to set the 'left' of my rectangles at creation time so each row just got piled up on the same spot. So, once they had all been created, I tried to 'select all' with a view to lining them up edge to edge (this is a great feature).
Unfortunately when I did 'select all' everything ground to a halt for many minutes. Am I overloading things by doing this? Maybe rectangles use more resources than buttons?
One problem is that I don't get the beach ball (OS X) to indicate things are going on. The whole app just becomes inactive - but not locked or crashed,
I got myself back to some normality by deleting the card with all those troublesome rectangles on closing the stack:
on closeStack delete card "RectanglesCard" end closeStack

PS I seem to remember, in perusing the docs, that there is a way to refer to the object most recently created. If so, could someone remind me of it, please.
