The right property returns or sets an integer equal to item 3 of an element’s rectangle. If you set the right of an object, it moves horizontally; the object's size remains the same. You can’t set the right of cards: use the rect, height, or width properties to resize the cards in a stack. You can't set the right of the menu bar. HyperCard determines the right of buttons, fields, and HyperCard’s built-in windows relative to the top-left corner of the current card. HyperCard determines the right of the card window relative to the top-left corner of the screen with the menu bar.
