palette question

[Rich Lague]

If I run the following script from a button that is on the stack I'm  
working with it works. However, if I try to run it from a button on a  
palette it does not work. The stack I'm trying to work on is the  
topstack, right under the palette.

Why?

Thanks,

Rich Lague
