I feel your pain! I switched to using "of me" or "of the owner of me"
whenever possible which works very well in many/most cases, but
sometimes it just isn't enough.

I just spent 2 hours purging the detestable “this stack” from my entire list of
projects. If you use substacks, if you hide and show stacks, this stack simply
unreliable. Instead put this at the head of every script that needs to know
what the parent stack is:
put getParentStack(the long id of me) into tParentStack
and have this in a library or active script somewhere:
function getParentCard pObjectID
put offset("card id", pObjectID) into tStartChar
put char tStartChar to -1 of pObjectID into tCardID
return tCardID
end getParentCard
function getParentStack pObjectID
put offset("stack ", pObjectID) into tStartChar
put char tStartChar to -1 of pObjectID into tParentStack
return tParentStack
end getParentStack
Now you will know ABSOLUTELY which stack you are in from any object on any
card. And no, I’m not senile (much yet) I know I already posted this some time
ago.
