The "backgroundbehavior" property will "only" manage if a group on the current card will be placed automatically onto a newly created card. If I remember right, the "backgroundbehavior" prop will be set to true after you "placed" a group onto another card, even if this grp did not have this prop set before. In any case grps and bgs are very different than they were in HyperCard, where you could only have ONE background on a card :-) > Thanks > Tiemo > > Klaus, you are not familiar with Toolbook? No, I've been a Mac guy from the beginning, I've used Director but switched to MetaCard when the first Win and Mac versions came out in 1999 and never looked back ;-) > Probably because you can't use ditto! HA! Komm Du mal nach Hause! :-D Best Klaus -- Klaus Major http://www.major-k.de kl...@major.on-rev.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
