You are building a stack and have a number of cards already created. Now you decide that the fifth card you have put together should really be the first card. What's the best way to move it?

Well, like most things in Revolution, there are a number of different ways.

The first, and most logical is to use the object property. Right click on the card you wish to move, select object properties. The object properties window opens up, like this.

Then press the mini-arrows (highligted in the image above) to change the card's number.

A second method, uses the Message Box.

Make sure you are working on the card you wish to move, then select the Message Box from the toolbar (1, below).

Then type "set the number of this card to 1" into the Message Box. When you press return the instruction will be processed. The image below shows "cd" being used as a shortened version of "card".

For this particular task, this method seems a little cumbersom. However, it highlights an important feature of the Message Box - you can use it to get things done while learning the revTalk scripting language.
