Working with a 'group'

[Tom]

How do I add a new object to an EXISTING group (and therefore still keep the script that went with the existing group)?

Do you want to dynamically create an object by script or use the toolbar?

If the former:

create button "myButton" in group "myGroup"

if the latter:

make sure select grouped is active, select the group, click edit group

Hope that helps,

I want to use the toolbar...

Malte, still confused.

Let's say I have 3 buttons, A, B and C, all located in group 1024.
I decide I want to add button D to group 1024.

You said to select the group (by clicking on one of the 3 buttons), then select 'edit group'. That enables me to edit any member of the group. But I still don't know how to add, in this example, button D to the group without create a new group. (When I create a new group, it becomes a subgroup of 1024)

The workaround is to copy the script from group 1024, ungroup it, select all the objects that I want in the new group (A, B, C, AND D in this example), create a new group and then paste the script into the new group... it's a workaround, but klugey.

while you are in group edit mode, simply drag another button over from the toolbar.

But if it's an existing button?

I asked the same question under
"Adding to a Group" subject below.

copy [object [to {card | group | stack} ]]

copy button "Existing Button" to group "Group Name Here"

delete button "Existing Button"
