"Next" & "Back" Buttons Residing at Stack Level?

Post by Psmith » Sat May 14, 2011 10:05 pm

In the very first Summer Academy session, the example has 2 buttons created, redundantly, on 2 or 3 individual cards of the stack. Wouldn't it be more efficient to place these buttons at the "stack level"? Like "Master Objects" in a Desktop Publishing document, all repeating items for a single document only need be created once.

Is there a similar way of creating "Stack Master Objects" with appear on each individual card of the stack?

P,

Yes, it would be more efficient to create one set of navigation buttons, group them together in a group object and place this group on all cards of your stack.

Perhaps the summer course hasn't arrive at the subject of "groups" yet?

Best,

Correct. It hasn't.
