Thanks David, for asking. I had done the loop bit, but I went back and changed it. Do I love this group, or what? Happy New Year! Raymond This is the MetaCard mailing list.

Script references to objects in groups?
What is the correct scripting syntax for referring to the objects in a group? In a current situation, I have a group of buttons in a stack menu panel. If one of the buttons is hilited when the user presses the escape key, that button is still hilited the next time the menu opens. So I'd like to say something like: set the hilite of all the buttons in grp "mButtons" to false But this doesn't seem to work, although it seems to me I read of something like this earlier this year. If not, I can loop through the objects, but even then I can't find the syntax in the reference stacks. What am I missing? Happy New Year/Millennium!
