I created a new stack to test this out but it doesn't seem to be 
working.  In the new stack I created about 10 buttons and put the 
following script in the card:

on mouseEnter
put id of target()
end mouseEnter

If I drag the mouse over the buttons without the left mouse button 
depressed it works fine.  If I click on a button and then drag the 
mouse around then the ids are not displayed.
