I to do a similar thing when creating a pie chart in a group.
All the chart handlers are in the group.
Here is an example for creating a segment of a pie chart:
on drawASegment tLeft,tTop,tRight,tBottom,tRadius,tStartAngle,tArcAngle,tColor
set the style of the templateGraphic to oval
create grc in me
put the id of the last grc of me into tID
set the antialiased of grc id tID to true
set the rect of grc id tID to tLeft,tTop,tRight,tBottom
set the startangle of grc id tID to tStartAngle
set the arcangle of grc id tID to tArcAngle
set the backcolor of grc id tID to tColor
set the showFill of grc id tID to true
set the forecolor of grc id tID to tColor
set the lineSize of grc id tID to 1
set the locked of grc id tID to true
end drawASegment
When deleting the chart I use this handler which does not delete the group,
rather it deletes the objects of the group:
on deleteChart
put the childControlNames of me into tObjectList
lock screen
if tObjectList is not empty then
repeat with n = 1 to the number of lines in tObjectList
put line n of tObjectList into tObject
if exists(tObject) then
delete tObject
else
put "OBJECT DOES NOT EXIST " & tObject
end if
end repeat
end if
unlock screen
end deleteChart
Hopefully this will give you some ideas.
All the best
Terry
