Many thanks to Jonathan Lynch, whose post explains how to relayer
groups inside a group.
1)set the relayergroupedcontrols property to true
2)move all the subgroups to the bottom of the master group - this
has to be
done in the correct order, so that when this process is finished
the target
group has moved up or down a layer as desired
3)set the relayergroupedcontrols property back to false
For those interested, a script follows for the case where we're
moving one group to the top. To keep the order of the non-relayering
groups unchanged, I start from the "top" of the pile when moving them
to the "bottom" of the pile; that explains the two repeat loops and
the use of ids.
on mouseDown
lock screen
put the short id of the owner of the target into tgid
put the layer of group "wb" into myL
repeat with g = 1 to the number of groups in group "wb"
get the short id of group g of group "wb"
if it is not tgid then put it & space before hold
end repeat
set the relayerGroupedControls to true
repeat for each word w in hold
set the layer of group id w to 1+myL
end repeat
set the relayerGroupedControls to false
unlock screen
grab group id tgid
end mouseDown
My simpler approach (script below) can also do the relayering job.
Its defect is that for some reason the "grab" command at the end is
ignored, whereas in the Lynch-inspired script the "grab" command
works as intended. Does leaving "group editing mode" somehow
terminate the mouseDown handler?
on mouseDown
if "button" is in the target then
-- (1) put the group this button belongs to on top of other
-- groups that are subgroups of group "wb":
put the short id of the owner of the target into tgid
start editing group "wb"
set the layer of group id tgid to top
stop editing
-- (2) move this group with the mouse until the mouse is released:
grab group id tgid of group "wb" -- THIS DOESN'T WORK
end if
end mouseDown
