I'm having some problems working out how the "resizeControl" are actually
sent:

These are the noted from the ParentScriptNotes.txt file in the engines
application folder:

I thought I understood this - but it does not seem to be working as I
thought. In my example I am taking the "resizeControl" message. I have a
group with a "resizeControl" handler set, and inside that group there is
another group which also has a "resizeControl" set. However the inner group
is NOT receiving a "resizeControl" message - putting a demo stack
together...
