Hi Matt, Try this in your button: on mouseUp put the abbrev id of this stack into tThisID put tThisID set the altID of this stack to the last word of tThisID hide tThisID end mouseUp According to the docs on altID: "This property can be used to ensure compatibility with imported SuperCard and HyperCard stacks that assume buttons and fields are created with sequential IDs. You can also use the altID of a stack as a consistent way of referring to it, since the ID of a stack changes every time an object is created." However, you don't want to do it like I showed (that was just a quick example) because the docs also state: "Important! Be careful not to set an object�s altID property to the ID of an object of the same type. Since both properties are checked when you refer to an object by ID, doing this may cause the wrong object to be found because its altID property is the same as the ID of the object you want."
