Windows standalone two handlers separated

You could even send that local var as a parameter to your button, see 
below...

If you specify the exact location of the button it will work!

Like:
...
send "parttwo" to btn "name here" of cd x ## of stack y
## if the button is inanother stack...
...

Please note the quotes!

Or with the above mentioned parameter:

local varname

on xyz
    send "parttwo varname" to btn "name here" of cd x
...


And in the button:

on parttwo whattheheck
    ## do something with whattheheck
...

Make sure that "varname" is not empty! ;-)

Sorry, no idea...

> b. delete it?

In the preerences -> Application Browser check "Show audio clips" (and 
"Show vieoclips")
then you can select your sound and delete it in the App Browser.
