Determining which menu button was clicked on Mac

[Thomas J McGrath III]

I use this script in a "GoTo" menu to check if the sound is done 
playing on one particular card with a lot of animations (that caused 
errors if the card was left prematurly) I exit the menuPick so the user 
has to wait till sound is done.
Don't know what behavior you want but "if the sound is not done" works 
for me.

on menuPick pWhich
   put the short name of this card into gna
   if gna is "Main 2" then
     if the sound is not done then
       exit menuPick
     end if
   end if
   go to card pWhich of stack "UnityCD"
end menuPick
