Thanks Colin. I read the lesson but still can't get the effect I want. Maybe I'm trying to use the geometry manager for something it's not designed to do?
I have a group on a card that has a number of controls in it. If the user resizes the card, I want the group to resize in proportion to the amount the card is resized and for the vertical/horizontal scrollbars of the group to become active if any of its controls are outside the boundaries of the group. I thought this could make this work by choosing "Scale selected object" and specifying an absolute or relative link to the right edge of the card (and the bottom). But if I resize the card to be narrower, the group doesn't resize - instead, its left edge is pushed beyond the left edge of the card and of course the horizontal scrollbar doesn't activate since all the group's controls are still within its boundaries, even though they are off the screen. I've tried linking the group to different combinations of the edges of the card, other controls, absolute and relative links and no matter how I resize the card, the group never resizes.
