well, the bare "mousecontrol" was just a hint... ;-)

"put the long id of the mousecontrol" returns something like:
button id 1054 of card id 1011 of stack "/Users/klaus/Documents/WIN 
BAK/festivalstart.rev"

Does that look more meaningful for you? ;-)

Or use "the long name of the mousecontrol" etc...
