Hi Dennis,

I just tried you situation and all behaved as it should.  Give this a 
try and see what happens.  I did the following in the scroll bar 
scripts:

--SCROLLBAR ONE
on scrollbarDrag lValue
   global SQ
   put lValue into SQ
end scrollbarDrag


--SCROLLBAR TWO
on scrollbarDrag lValue
   global EQ
   put lValue into EQ
end scrollbarDrag


--IN A BUTTON
on mouseUp
   global SQ, EQ
   put (SQ+0) && (EQ+0)
end mouseUp
