I finally sort of deciphered a little of this and put it together with what
I did before. I made a grc and grouped it with scrollbars, then turned on
edit group and referenced a fullscreen image, sent it to the back, shut off
edit group.
In the Revolution goc, "grc" means "graphic" not "image", so I'm confused. I don't know what it is for.
Then I click-checked Select Groups and selected the image, installed my
mousemove scripts, switched group id's and voila! It works! And yes, the
group did need the border.
Not sure about setting margins to 0 though
This is only for the outer group. If you don't use the outer group, then don't bother.
For me, I have trouble working with locking a location and locking the size being the same, and I prefer to make those independent.
Here is how I did this:
1. I created an image using "Import as Control...".
2. I grouped this and named this "Inner Group". (If you do a bunch of custom control scripting then use a smaller name, because those should be me-relative.)
3. I set the margins of the group to 0 (Text Formatting pane). This has to be done before steps 4 and 5. (Bug?)
4. I went to the Size and Position pane of the property inspector. I set the size to 200 X 200 and checked lock size and position. Use whatever you want for the size; you can change it later.
5. I went to the Basic Properties pane and turned on the scroll bars. On OS X, change the scroll width from 16 to 15.
6. At this point it has no border and you can't move it.
7. Make sure Select Grouped is off. Select the group. In the message box execute "group". That creates a new group. (The group button will try to ungroup, so don't use it.) Name it "Scrollable Image". You can now move this control in your card layout, but if you change cards it will not resize.
8. Now for the border. I set the margins of the custom control (group "Scrollable Image") to 0. On the Basic Properties pane I turned off 3d, and turned on the border. This border will grow out from the inner group and will not cover the image. The size of the custom control is exactly the size of the inner group plus (double) the borders.
Ta-dah!
(I deleted a bunch of stuff of interest only to weirdos like me, such as custom properties.)
