Stack handler not available from cd script?

In my experience, MetaCard is a little less reliable
than HyperCard when it comes to traversing the message
hierarchy. In my case : when a button calls a handler
in the stack, AND THEN calls a handler which is in the
btn AND in the stack, MetaTalk will oddly select the
handler in the stack instead of the one in the button.

My solution, which may be a solution for you as well,
is to *explicitly send the msg* to the object whose
script has the handler you want to execute.

Hope this helps,

Alain F
