Menu madness

Hi Gareth,

> 4. Click the ID of the first card of the stack
> 5. Scroll down to "Addresses menu" (my menubar group) and double-click
> 6. Click the "Group" tab in the properties window that opens
> 7. Click the "backgroundBehaviour" checkbox and close the window
> 8. To add the menu to an existing card now, go to that card and
> select Object/Place Group/Addresses menu

write a little script...
(presuming that that group is already placed on the first cd.)

on mouseup
  put the num of cds into anzahl
  repeat with i = 2 to anzahl
        place background "your_bg_name_here" onto card i
  end repeat
end mouseup

Hope that helps...
