Hi Troy,
I recently wrote a dynamic form generation scripting tool, which allowed forms to be drawn inside Rev with an unlimited number of controls by 'writing a script.'
So, the problem you state, I had to find a solution to. Here's what I did. I calculated the overall height of the group and set the stack heigth to match...unless it was greater than item 4 of the windowBoundingRect-item 2 of the windowBoundingRect (see the docs for a definition of windowBoundingRect). If it was larger, then I set the height of the stack to the largest it could be (again using the windowBoundingRect as a measure) and set the vScrollbar of the group to true. This works. Of course, when doing this, one must remember to set the lockloc of the group to true as well.
More to come....

I'm putting together some documentation stacks for my recently finished Rev app. These are mostly long fields of text with interspersed screenshots, etc. I like Rev's ability to scroll groups, and am using that to create fairly long scrolling streams of content, perhaps 3x the height of the card they are on. But dealing with such a group in authoring is unwieldy.
Anyone have any tips for working with groups which are taller than the card it is displayed on? Do you temporarily make the stack window as tall as your monitor will allow and then size it down before publishing? Anything else? What works good in this situation?
