I think this is a beginner level question that I'm really struggling with.
All I want to do is empty a group in code so I can repopulate it.
I have a 'complex (to me)' script that takes a template group and works through a loop to add instances of it into the master group. The problem is when I want to add an item I would just like to clear the master group and then re-run the build to repopulate it with the latest data.
Deleting all items in a group sounds simple but for the life of me I cannot work out the code to do it, all I want is the group I have called
group "grpScroller"
stays on the card, and it is empty read to take new data.
All the data I add to the group also group if that makes sense, I copy a template group into grpscroller, all that is working great, I just can't work out how to wipe the group clean ready for a new set of data.
Should be easy but I'm stuck.

this will do the trick:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put the num of controls of grp 1 into tNum
repeat with i = tNum down to 1
delete control i of grp 1
end repeat
end mouseUp
