Hi,

I have a stack with just one card. This card contains many objects and the user can create more of these. The objects in the card are groups of fields and graphics (think of a mind-mapper app). At some point there's more objects in the card that can fit the screen of a laptop mac, so I need to create the interface to make the elements of the card move vertically and horizontally so that the user can move around to see the whole contents of the card. I suppose one way to move the objects is to group all of the, then move the new group via scripts using scrollbars controllers, and later ungroup them. This seems to me a slow way to proceed, and in addition to that, i find that LC (I'm using v. 7.1.4 on a MacOs 10.11.4) won't let me group so many objects (currently there are around 40 groups of fields and as many arrows). Can you suggest a solution, or point me to an already stack where I can see a well tested procedure to do something like that?

best,

Daniel

why do you think that UNGROUPING is neccessary at some point?
You can alyways:
...
create button "a new button" in grp "the big one"
create field " new field" in grp "the big one"
## etc...

What does LC tell you in that specific situation?

Create the objects in a group and turn on the group's scroll bar properties.

Thanks you both very much. You gave me the solution.
