Deleting an object with a "bank shot'

[Ken Ray]

Tim,

How about simplifying it to:

(script of card):

on wackIt
  delete the target
end wackIt

(script of the btn you want to delete):

on mouseUp
  send "wackit" to me in 10 milliseconds
end mouseUp

This way, it will get a chance to complete its script and then be
deleted when the 'wackit' message passes through the button to the card
script.
