It should work just that way. I opened a new stack in Rev, grouped a couple
of objects, set the backgroundBehavior of the group to true and put this
script in the script of the group:


on Test
  answer "Hello"
end Test

Then I created a button that was just sitting on the card with:

on mouseUp
  Test
end mouseUp

Sure enough, when I clicked it, I got a "hello" dialog.

Can you try my simple example and see if it works for you? If so, it may be
something else we need to look at...

OK. So then maybe I need to understand a couple (LOL) things better.

First, are a background group's scripts available in a preOpenCard message if the background exists on the card that is being entered?

And second - that means that the message path is -
frontscripts->object->group->card->stacks->libraryStacks->backscripts

when there are no backgrounds. And,
frontscripts->object->group->card->backgrounds->stacks->libraryStacks- >backscripts


if there is a background.

But what is the message path for objects within the backgrounded group?

Thanks for clarifying. It seems to me that a grasp of all the intricacies of the message path is one of the keys to optimal program operation, so I want to get this right.
