Reports the backgrounds in a stack.

Syntax:

get the backgroundIDs of <stack>

Examples:

get last line of the backgroundIDs of this stack

Use the backgroundIDs property to find out which backgrounds are available.

The backgroundIDs is the list of all backgrounds in the stack whose backgroundBehavior property is set to true, whether they appear on the current card or not. If a group in the stack contains groups, only the top-level groups are reported.

To find out which groups are placed on a card, use the groupIDs property.

Changes: In versions before 1.1, groupIDs and backgroundIDs were synonyms and could be used interchangeably.

See also: stack (object), properties (property), groupIDs (property), backgroundBehavior (property), ID (property),
