Doesn't sound like a bug to me. It sounds like you are asking Rev to 
locate a background button but your button is actually on the card. Your 
message box test is looking for a card button too. If you put in the 
message box:

   put the label of bg button "choosefile"

Do you get the same error?

Your script should probably ask for "button 'choosefile'" instead of "bg 
button", if my guess is right.
