The problem with this one is that you can't use an operator in a case
statement. The syntax is either
switch {expression}
case {value}
{statements}
end switch
or
switch
case {expression}
{statements}
end switch
If you use the first form, the {value} in each case statement is tested for
equality with the {expression} at the top. Your {value} statement isn't a
value that can be tested for equality; instead it's the second half of an
expression. So Rev is trying to evaluate
if (the target) is (contains button)
and this is why you get the complaint about a double binary operator.
You can write this as
switch
case (the target contains "button")
set cursor to hand
break
end switch
(If you have a lot of cases and they're all testing the target, for better
speed you can do this:
get the target
switch
case (it contains "button")
[etc]

That almost looks like the compiler's wrong about the line the error is on.
What's in the previous line?
