I had thought of that. Only bad thing is that the controls are going to be spread throughout the stack and on different cards. I suppose I could do that and place the group on the cards where I need any of those controls, but then I would still have to handle hiding/showing individual controls, which is kind of what I was hoping to avoid.

One way would be to group the controls according to license type, then you only have to hide/show one object. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation __________________________________________________ Rev tools and more: http://www.fourthworld.com/rev _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution -- No virus found in this incoming message.
