It's not clear what you're doing here. If your cascade buttons are in
a menu panel, then a menuPick message is *not* sent to the button that
opens that panel. You have to trap the mouseUp message in the scripts
of individual buttons (or in the card or stack script in the panel).
If your complete menu hierarchy is defined in a single button using
tabs to build the cascading menus, then you should get a menuPick
message in that one button.
Also, I'd recommend upgrading to 2.2.5, as message passing from
cascading menus is one of the areas where problems were fixed in that
release.
