But by putting a "preOpenCard" (or openCard) handler in the*Group's script* does mean that the group is still self contained. I was curious, so I tried a quick experiment and this does appear to work. Not too sure if it would solve Jacque's problem, but may be worth a try, looking at the manual I'd expect this just to work for user events, system events bypass controls and groups.
Yes, it would work in general. In this case I have a backscript that will change whatever the group has already done, so it needs its own message. That's why I was looking at the openControl/preOpenControl message, which the backscript doesn't handle.
I think my setup is fairly unique; most of the suggestions posted here would work for most typical stacks.
