Switch to background editing mode, select the Painting tool and create some graphics on the background. Then switch to card editing mode, select the Painting tool and create a filled rectangle that covers some of the background graphics. Create a new button named "Cover/Uncover" and put the following handler into its script: on mouseUp (not the showPict of this card) end mouseUp Switch to Browse mode and click on the button several times to alternately hide and show the rectangle on the card, thus covering and uncovering the region of graphics on the background.
