Cheers guys ,

The loop routine works great !

In future will look at the background option.

I would recommend you do the following for the future development of  
your stack(s)

go card 1
select the field "Version"
go to the menu "Object", and choose "Group Selected" objects
There is only one selected, but now there is a group id that contains  
one field.

At this point, the group is only 'placed' on card 1.
Select the group and use the inspector to
"Behave like a background"

Next, go to card 2,
then the menu "Object:Place Group" and now it appears on card 1 & 2,  
plus will automatically appear on any new cards
then select the original field "Version" and delete it.  You will not  
need it anymore.

Once you have done this for all cards (either manually or by scripted  
repeat loop) you can select "Share Text" and all cards will show the  
same text, whether it is a version number or a list of data, etc.

If you decide not to use a background group, you will need to write a  
repeat loop to update all of the individual fields.
Also, you will have to remember to add this field to any new cards you  
make and put in the correct version number.
In the long run it is easier to use background-group objects when  
developing stacks

1. you could use ONE grouped field that you could place on all cards,
With its "shraedtext" property set to true this is less overhead, since you 
only 
have ONE field to maintain. If this fits to your app design, of course.

2. Write a tiny repeat loop to go through all cards and fill the field:
...
lock screen
repeat with i = 1 to the num of cds
  if there is a fld "version" then put "Version 1.1.1.1.1" into fld "version of 
cd i
  end if
end repeat
unlock screen
## Will be fast enough for most purposes!

Jim,

This handler will print all the cards in the stack, four to a page:

 on mouseUp
 set the printRotated to true
 open printing with dialog
 if the result is "Cancel" then exit mouseUp
 set the printScale to .4
 set the printMargins to 36,36,36,36 --1/2 inch margins
 set the printGutters to 18,18 --1/4 inch gutters
 repeat with i = 1 to number of cards
   print card i
 end repeat
 close printing -- sends job to printer
  end mouseUp

You can play with the property settings to get just the look you want.

Re: Place group on all cards, after already duplicated

[Christopher Mitchell]

There is always the possibility that, although the cards are basically 
identical, one would want to not have that control on  every one.  It 
looks like the best way for the special case cards is just to place it 
by hand, or place it onto all marked cards.

I'm not just pulling this out of the air, I have a specific special 
case where that would be the case in mind :)

Yours,
Chris

Or you can do a non grouped object via:

copy object manually

then

repeat with j = 1 to 10
go card j
paste
end repeat
I do this sometimes

Re: Place group on all cards, after already duplicated

[Thomas McGrath III]

If you already have a group on the cards you need a new item on you can 
edit the group and copy paste the control into it and it will show up 
where ever you have the group now. nice.

If you don't already have the group then you can place group via the 
menu item.

or like you said you can script it in.

Also you can delete the group from individual cards after scripting it 
to them all.

Why don't you want to add it to the original control group

a group of one (select image, then group selected) and then using the

Re: help! all cards are blank

[Robin Banerjee]

Dear Ken, 

Thanks for the reply.  But no, I didn't move the stack.  And it wasn't just
referenced files that were not displaying -- every card was completely
blank, even though I could access buttons, fields, players etc. through the
message box.  Fortunately, when I copied all the cards to a new stack they
all displayed correctly.  But it's still a puzzle to me - the original stack
still is a bunch of blank cards!
