Thank you , it helps me understand the layout of a stack.

What I don't understandt is why does it matter < or >.

You tell te program to check if the right of button ("sheep"&x) < or > then the right of this card but you put the then comand and say set the right of button ("sheep"&x) to the right of this card .

When I read this command I understand that you say to check if the right of button is < or > of the card but set the right of button to the right of the card anyway....

I hope you understand my dilema.....

I am a total noob in programing but live code seames easy to learn.

This code is just making sure the "sheep" button is on the card

In this case the sheep would be off the card on top

Code: Select all

if the top of button ("sheep"&x) < the top of this card then
set the top of button ("sheep"&x) to the left of this card
end if

In this case the sheep would be off the card on the left

Code: Select all

if the left of button ("sheep"&x) < the left of this card then
set the left of button ("sheep"&x) to the left of this card
end if

In this case the sheep would be off the card on the right

Code: Select all

if the right of button ("sheep"&x) > the right of this card then
set the right of button ("sheep"&x) to the right of this card
end if

In this case the sheep would be off the card on the bottom

Code: Select all

if the bottom of button ("sheep"&x) > the bottom of this card then
set the bottom of button ("sheep"&x) to the bottom of this card

Put another way, if the size of the card was 800x800, if the top (or left) is less than (<) then 0, it is off the card so it needs to be set to 0. If the bottom (or right) is greater than (>) 800, it is off the card so it needs to be set to 800.
