SCRIPTS IN GROUPS

[Klaus Major]

Hi Bill,

if the "backgroundbehavior" of that group = true, then this is the  
correct behavior!

That script is put into the message path AFTER the card:

object -> (group with NO bg behav.) -> card -> BG (= group WITH bg  
behav.) -> stack...

I alsways check "the owner of the target" in these cases in the bg  
script.

on mouseup
     if the owner of the target = me then
      ## an object INSIDE that group was clicked
     end if
end mouseup

Hope that helps.
