As Mark Weider said, control ids are unique, so there is no need to
specify the group, in
... graphic id 1234 of grp "unneeded" of ..
However, the same is not true of names, so it's perfectly possible to
have multiple graphics (or multiple groups) within the card, each with
the same name. It is therefore ambiguous which of them is being referred
to -and unfortunately the engine does NOT inform you of this ambiguity
(and hence possible bug).
So - in your original example here -
set the width of graphic "BaseControlsBkgnd" to item 3 of tCardRect
are you sure there s no other graphic with the same name ? (- NB it can
be anywhere withing the stack file)
Ir would be better practice to say somethingglike
set the width of graphic "BaseControlsBkgnd" of grp "wherever" of grp :to item
3 of tCardRect

I take part of that back

set the left of graphic id 1026 of grp "baseControls" to 0
works
but not if we refer to the graphic by name

either one will break the script whether referred to by name or ID…
I thought I recalled some internal global to allow controls in a group to be
dynamically managed… but it only appears to refer to layers and not geometric
position or dimensions.
Oddly there is no error msg to alert us that there is a problem here.
Neither the group or the graphic which is part of it have their lockloc set to
true.
