One Rect For All specificaiton

[Scott Rossi]

If I understand what you're trying to do, I accommodate this by designing
groups to position themselves when the card is open, using preOpenControl
or openControl.  Simple example:

-- SCRIPT OF TAB BAR GROUP OR SIMILAR
on preOpenControl
   put rect of this card into theRect
   put item 4 of theRect - height of me into item 2 of theRect
   set rect of me to theRect
end preOpenControl

You might need to fiddle with the rect depending on the fullScreenMode you
use.

Otherwise you can run script on preOpenCard/openCard to position things
where you want.
