group question

[Ken Ray]

Doug,

There isn't a "select all objects" command, but you can accomplish it in
one of two ways:

1) select <obj1> and <obj2> and <obj3> ... and <objN>

2) repeat through all the objects and set the 'selected' property of the
object to true

Personally I prefer #2 as it is easier:

  repeat with x = 1 to the number of controls
    set the selected of control x to true
  end repeat

Then execute the "group" command.

After you have grouped a set of objects, you can select individual
objects in the group *by* script at any time, but if you want the user
to manipulate them with the pointer tool, you'll need to set the
selectGroupedControls property to true.

HTH,
