Question about deleting all the graphics on a card

[Sarah Reichelt]

repeat the number of graphics times
   delete graphic 1
end repeat

or if you want to check the name of any on the loop:

repeat with i = the number of graphics down to 1
   delete graphic (the short name of graphic i)
end repeat

Cheers,
Sarah
