Setting visible of control within group to false

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Jim:


Me neither. I made three buttons  (B1, B2, B3) and grouped them into group "grp1".


This in another button script:


on mouseup
set the visible of btn "b2" to "false"
answer the owner of btn "b2"
end mouseUp


I get "group grp1".  LC 4.5.3.

Jim:

Are you sure the control gets physically placed outside the group?  Are you
using any scripts to manipulate object layers?

Doing a quick test here with a single object in a group, I don't see your
result (v4.6.4). The rect of a group does indeed "collapse" to encompass
only its visible contents, but the hidden object/s should continue to remain
part of the group.  If you're seeing something else, it would be good know
what the circumstances are.
