Hey, Bailey! Glad to see you! When you say "tab menu" do you mean the tab button control? If so, and you want to use it like an "options" dialog box to navigate among cards, you can do this:
1) Create a stack for your dialog box, but don't create any more cards yet (the reason is that if you define a background object on the first card it will automatically copy itself to new cards as they're created; if you already have your cards defined, you'll have to "place" the background object on each card one at a time). 2) Create a tab button that fills the card (or however you want it to look), and give it the following script: on menuPick currTab,prevTab go card currTab end menuPick 3) Set the "contents" of the button to the list of the tab button names. 4) Right now, it's only a "card-based" button (i.e. if you go to the next card, the tab button will disappear). So you need to make it shared... Group the tab button, and in the properties for the group, turn on "Background Behavior" (which makes it like a background shared object) 5) Create new cards, one for each tab (you should see the tab button appear on each card as you create it; if you don't, you'll have to "place" the object on each card using the Place Group option in the Object menu). 6) Name each card the same as the tab that it corresponds to (so that the script I suggested in #2 will work). That should do it...

I am trying to use the Tab menu to present various options to users. I feel completely stupid but after creating a tab menu on a card I am at a loss to figure out how to use it. I can�t figure out how to use it either to �navigate� or show cards, info or what ever. I would greatly appreciate pointers.
