# right

```
the right of [ph:card]

set [the] right of [ph:button] to [ph:integer]

```

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. 

## Examples

```
the right of card button 1
the right of bkgnd field id 34
the right of this card
the right of message box
the right of tool window

set the right of bkgnd button "Next" to the right of bg btn "Prev"
```
