You have to refer to the stack :
set the label of btn1 to btnnames[btn1] of this stack -- or of stack 
"YourstackName"

or something like :
  put  the short name of this stack <or whatever you want> into MYstackName
  set the label of btn1 to btnnames[btn1] of stack MYstackName

or you can also try :
set the customPropertySet of stack MYstackName to btnnames
--your script
...
...
...
--and then you reset with
set the customPropertySet of stack MYstackName to empty

hope this helps
