Anything can be fooling with the numbers since they are globals.

Perhaps there are errors in the script for some other states.  To make 
this easier to maintain, you might consider something like this:

on mouseUp
   clickedState 7  -- where clickedState is defined in the group or the 
card.
end mouseUp

Or better yet, don't define the mouseUp in the state but in the group 
that collects them all.  There refer to the name of the target.  The 
script is maintained in one place and you know all states have the same 
script.

>     send mouseUp to btn "Play"

What does the "Play" button do?

Did you mean 'send "mouseUp" to button "Play" in 0'?  This will execute 
right after the state mouseUp is finished.  The above statement from 
the email will execute right in the middle of the state mouseUp.  Will 
executing in the middle be OK?  (Not knowing what "Play" does I'm just 
fishing.)

My best guess is a wayward state script.
