And if you didn't know, when a control is created (ie. cloned), rev
put's whatever it's current name is into the 'it' variable, so you
can immediately position and rename it, so you could do some thing like:
put 10 into tTop -- will be the top of the new group
put 10 into tLeft -- will be the left
repeat with n = 1 to the number of lines in taskList
clone group "Tasktemplate" -- maybe have your group "hidden"
somewhere in the stack
set the top of it to tTop
set the left of it to tLeft
put the bottom of it + 10 into tTop
show it
set the name of it to "Task" & n
--- you could fill the each group with data at this point

Hi Sarah,
Thanks so much for the reply!
The groups have not been created, so I need to clone a group for
each task... but your code certainly gives me a clear path to follow.
Thanks!

I have data returned from a PHP script, like this:
total number of tasks: 4
project_id: 3|take trip|task_id: 47|get cookies|vanilla wafers,
oreos, choc chip|duncan|3|
project_id: 3|take trip|task_id: 46|buy funny hats|all kinds of
hats|
duncan|3|
project_id: 3|take trip|task_id: 40|buy bikes|cool bikes!|duncan|3|
project_id: 3|take trip|task_id: 48|get shiny stuff|shiny|duncan|3|
I want the data to populate a scrolling group of groups that will
look something like this:
http://revcoders.org/populating-groups-with-data/
How about something like this:
put last word of tPHPdata into tNumGroups
delete line 1 of tPHPdata
set the itemDelimiter to "|"
repeat with g = 1 to tNumGroups
put line g of tPHPdata into tLineData
put item 2 of tLineData into field "ProjectName" of group
("Task" & g)
put item 4 of tLineData into field "TaskName" of group ("Task" & g)
put item 5 of tLineData into field "TaskDetails" of group
("Task" & g)
put item 6 of tLineData into tTaskOwner
if btn "TaskOwner" of group ("Task" & g) contains tTaskOwner is
false then
put cr & tTaskOwner after btn "TaskOwner" of group ("Task" & g)
end if
get lineOffset(tTaskOwner, btn "TaskOwner" of group ("Task" & g))
set the menuHistory of btn "TaskOwner" of group ("Task" & g) to it
end repeat
This assumes that all the groups have been created and are called
"Task1", "Task2" etc. If they don't already exist, you need to clone
them and position them. If you make lots in advance, you may want to
show & hide them depending on how many are full.
BTW, I wasn't sure what all the data segments in your PHP data were,
but this should give you enough to display the rest wherever you need
them.
Cheers,
Sarah
