Hi,
Here's something I did that you may be able to adapt. In my case
they objects are rectangles and the label/name field is not
displayed. Also all that needed to happen was if the rectangle was
clicked, an action specific to that rectangle had to be performed.
To do this I did the following:
Setup an array that has the key being the (long) name of the button
and the data as the value of being an object-specific field.
If the user re-ordered the rects all that needed to be done was to
swap the data field of the Array between objects, e.g.
Given the following Rectangle List:
R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,
The Array would look like this:
"R1",VALUE1
"R2",VALUE2
"R3",VALUE3
"R4",VALUE4
"R5",VALUE5
if user changes the position so that R5 comes after R2
R1,R2,R5,R3,R4,
"R1",VALUE1
"R2",VALUE2
"R3",VALUE5 <-----
"R4",VALUE3
"R5",VALUE4
So all that is done is to move VALUE5 into R3, VALUE3 into R4 and
VALUE4 into R5.
Then in the mouseUp handler for each rectangle:
on mouseUp
put theArray[the name of me] into myValue
put DoMouseUpInRect(the name of me,myValue) into myResult
end mouseUp
You could do the same using custom properties for each object, but
I found this harder to maintain and debug.
Don't know if this would help in your case, but maybe you can adapt the idea.
All the Best

Dear Jan,
I use a repeat with T=1 to (the number of buttons of group "Timeline")
because I need to reorganize all the other buttons if the user
moves just one of them.
In the future the user can have up to 1000 of these buttons in
the timeline. At this point I guess the repeat loop will be very
slow.
Is there a more efficient method I can use here?
If the user eliminates or changes button x, is there any need to
adjust buttons 1 through (x-1)? If not, you can start T=X to (the
number of buttons of group "Timeline". It won't help much if the
target is button 1; but it should help lots if the target is
button 999.
If the relationship of the buttons is different such that action
on button x can require changes to buttons 1 to (x-1), I'd need to
know more to offer further suggestions.
