Specifies an object's position within a file, a card's position within a stack, or a control's layer on a card(keyword).
Built-in Function handler[]
Syntax:
get the number of <object>
Examples:
set the number of this card to 1
if the number of this card is 1 then go last card
put the number of the last button into numberOfButtons
Use the number property to find out what layer a card(keyword) is on, to find or change a card's position, or to refer to an object(glossary).
The number of a control(keyword) is its layer on the card(keyword). Lower numbers are further back; higher numbers are farther forward. If you create several controls and don't change their layer order, the first control(keyword) you created has the number 1 and the rest of the controls are numbered in the order of creation.
The number of a card(keyword) specifies its position in the stack. When you open a stack without specifying a card(keyword), the card(keyword) whose number is one appears first. Setting the number of a card(keyword) moves it to the specified position in the stack. (Cards are the only objects whose number property can be set. )
The number of a main stack is always zero. The number of a substack is its creation order in the file, from 1 to the number of substacks.
You can refer to any object by specifying its number.
