Repeat question
An area I never mastered with SuperCard and still have trouble with in RR is using the repeat control structure... I want to check every field on a card before it closes to be sure none are EMPTY. I know the structure would be REPEAT for the number of fields on the card if field 1 is empty put up an alert else go to next field end if end repeat or something similar. How do I refer to the fields? Their IDs aren't sequential and there names aren't "numbered". Thanks!

Re: Newbie question
Aha - that was it. Didn't even see that option. No very intuitive. You have to create a GROUP and then assign it to be a BACKGROUND rather than just going straight to a background to begin with. I guess there's more flexibility that way. Thanks!

Newbie question
Fairly new to RR here, but have used HyperCard and then SuperCard at the amateur level for a while. I see in RR that you put items in GROUPS to have them appear on every card in a stack as opposed to SC where you put them in the BACKGROUND. I have a GROUP of items on a single card in a stack. When the CREATE CARD command is issued in a handler, a new card is created but the GROUP is not on it. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks!

Re: [OT] Copyright Question
The short answer is, if you didn't produce it and can't secure the rights or prove it is in the public domain, you can't without risking a lawsuit at a later date.

Groups
I'm a little confused by RR's handling of backgrounds. It seems that grouping items makes them go to the background and appear on all cards in a stack. But then you can't edit the scripts of the items in that group - just the script of that group. Is there any way to have items in the background and still get to their scripts?

Re: New user question
But if I was typing the name wrong, wouldn't the error appear first at line 2?

But try this: on mouseUp go invisible stack "VoluntTracker Volunteers" wait 3 seconds with messages show stack "VoluntTracker Volunteers" end mouseUp The "wait with messages" allows other things to happen e.g. moving or resizing windows, so it doesn't seem like your app has frozen.

Always the same error. Steve On Aug 13, 2009, at 5:10 PM, Richard Gaskin wrote: Steve Jones wrote: Hello! I am new to RR but have used SuperCard for many years an amateur and HyperCard before that.
