How to switch two popovers ?

Jerome,

I just created a very crude example. It is just to prove that nested scrolling groups could be put into other scrolling groups and that the nested could be restrained to vertical scrolling and the main group could be restrained to horizontal scrolling. This works.

Here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ds1lpbhfctyvuji/NestedPopOver.livecode

Now to make this work for you I would put a UINavBar at the top inside of the main group to script scroll left to right and back again. Then I would further the nested scrolling group script to make scrolling work from within the text field as well as the back ground (try passing mousedown maybe). (check out the options field which does that on its own.) Then I would make a separate little popover arrow that set itself to the side of the main scrolling group and positioned itself where ever the main car is clicked.

I didn't want to do it all for you but rather just show you how it can be done.
