MetaCard 2.4.2 gamma-test

[Phil Davis]

Hi Erik,

My guess: Layers.

If your controls are listed in the Control Browser, they're there somewhere. Here are the major possible causes of your experience:

1) The group that contains some of them might be sitting on top of the ones you can't find. (Use the Properties dialog to change the layer of the group to 1 and nothing can be hidden under it.)

2) They could have their "visible" props set to true. (You can fix that with the Control Browser "Show/Hide" button.) This isn't the likely problem though, because you see the controls sometimes.

3) Some controls would seem hidden if their locations are outside the rectangle of the stack window. (You can "answer the loc of control x" in msg and see if that's the case.)

HTH.

Phil
