Problem with group script

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

Hi Thomas

Unfortunately yes, it's is normal behavior i've complained about for 5 
years... 
Anyone else annoyed by it? Sure... The reason it's not fixed is probably 
highly
technical but i have hope they find a way one day...

The trick is to create your group and:
- use the context menu to paste into the group for single objects
- edit the group to paste multiple objects - or they will not appear in 
the right order (another issue)
- set the loclocation to true when necessary or your group may more around 
if the controls inside move too...

It's important to lock the location of the group if you do not have 
controls that delimit the bounds of the group's rect.

If you have to edit a group and you have out-of-that-group scripts (even 
the group's script), just keep the mouse
out of those windows or you'll get that error message...

to edit controls or the group:

- see the button in the revmenubar called "group select"... Very very 
useful... It allows to select either the group or
it's components. 
- Use the "select group" (the group is selected as one) when you need to 
edit the group's rect or script or props.
- Use the other method for the rest. That way you never get that message - 
missing controls... 

Once you grasp how these "select group" modes work, you'll love it...

Note that when you edit the group, you can't do a lot of things, so it's 
best to stay out of that mode unless really
necessary (like editing groups in groups)... 

cheers
