grouping objects by script problem

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Ron,

You could try something like:

    local tGrouplist
     -----
     repeat with i = 1 to 100
         create graphic ("foo" & i)
         put it && "and" & space after tGrouplist
         -- it contains the long name of the created graphic
     end repeat
     delete last word of tGrouplist -- last 'and'
     do "group" && tGrouplist -- using do is compulsory here
     set the name of last group to "FooGroup" -- if needed

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
