If you've encountered problems addressing cards by name and find that the ordinal number works, I'd double-check the card name in question and whether it's in the default stack at the time the handler is called. For example, palette windows are not a true stack in HyperCard, so any script in a palette which navigates to a card by name will assume it's referring to the topmost stack. But with Rev allowing stacks to take on a variety of modes, including palette, the defaultStack and the topStack may not always be the same thing. You coud get past that ny setting the default stack from your palette's script: on mouseUp set the defaultStack to the topStack go next end mouseUp Another factor that may come into play is the difference between how HyperCard and Revolution refer to objects. In HyperCard you must specify "bg" for background buttons and "cd" for card fields. Rev takes a simpler approach in which references to objects do not need to specify layer. For compatibility, however, the hcAddressing stack property makes Rev use HyperCard0style object references. If memory serves this property is set to false for new stacks but true for stacks converted from the HyperCard format. For a great discussion of conversion issues see Jacque Gay's excellent article on the subject at: <http://www.hyperactivesw.com/mctutorial/index.html>
