[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Finding the button/field interleaving?

np@doc.ic.ac.uk (Nigel Perry) (02/13/91)

I want to find the interleaving of the buttons and fields on a
card/background - you can find the order of the buttons/fields
from their number, when you move one back/forward it changes
its number if it passes another object of the same type.
However the number stays the same if it passes an object of the
other type. Is there a way to find out how the buttons/fields
are interleaved? Clearly HC must know to draw the card...

If you respond via email I'll summarise to the net.

P.S. Apologies to all you people dwonloading Regions from c.s.m.b
who have missing parts, I didn't do this posting and don't have
the parts myself. The package is on sumex-aim.stanford.edu,
rascal.ics.utexas.edu, somewhere in Finland, and other good
archives(!?). "Locals" to me or those in countries without FTP
access and try getting it direct from me - but I can't email lots
of copies across the pond, sorry.
