button references?

If the object is in another stack from the current default stack (the one
that has focus) then yes.  But if you have a lot of such references to write
you can set the defaultStack and use shorter descriptors:

  put the defaultStack into tSaveStack
  set the defaultStack to "MyStackName"
  set the label of btn 1 to "Steve"
  set the label of btn 2 to "Bob"
  -- etc.
  set the defaultStack to tSaveStack
