Marielle, im not sure you're talking about the same thing...
You're talking about changing one group's content. Im talking about multiple backgrounds over many cards. And in a pseudo way the place command... Example: create stack, create a bg group 1, create a bg grp 2. Now create cards... No probs, all is replicated. If you go back to cd 1 and create a new bg group then - it's not in the other cards you made prev. - if you create new cards, you have 3 bgs but previous bgs still have 2. Sort the stack by anything, you got a big bg mess ;) hope i got this ok... cheers Xavier > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Marielle Lange > Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 13:23 > To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com > Subject: RE: background groups issues > > > An idea for your situation would be to copy the original > stack, delete > > all cards but the one that has the correct layering, etc, > then write a > > script that will make a new card for each in the original, > getting and > > setting all the card-by-card items/fld data/radio > settings/x,y,w,h... > > No need to delete.
