deleting objects

[Steve Messimer]

Hi,

I am attempting to trap the deletebutton msg so that I can use the undo
command to restore certain buttons.  I want to be able to restore any button
that has a "" char appended to it if an identically named grp exists.  Thus
far I am unable to get the undo command to undo a user deleted button under
any circumstances.

The script suggested in the documentation doesn't work.

on deleteButton
    beep -- the beep does work
    send "undo" to this card in 1 millisecond
end deleteButton   

I tried this thinking that maybe the name of the deleted button was stored
however temporarily in the it var

on deleteButton
  beep
  if the last char of it is "" then send "undo" to this card
end deleteButton.

This doesn't work either

What I really want to do is want to do is get the name of the deleted button
and do two things.

1) Check to see if there is a "" char appended to it. if there is go to
part two, if not let it be deleted.

2) Check to see if a group with the same name exists.  If a group with the
same name exists then I want to undo the deletion.

The problem is I don't know how to get the name of a deleted Object after
the fact.  Anybody know how I can do this?
