Newbie Puzzled by Deleting Card

[Ken Ray]

Dave,

The problem is you can't delete the card because the button's script is
running and the button is on the card you're trying to delete. The simple
approach is a "send" command that is delayed a few milliseconds; just long
enough for the button's script to complete. Something like:

on mouseUp
  send "delete this card" to this card in 10 milliseconds
end mouseUp
