What happens if you leave off the "group" reference in the script:

   send "mouseup" to btn "choosefile"

If your group has background behavior set to true, then you might also try:

   send "mouseup" to btn "choosefile" of bg "artwork"

Do either of these work? It does sound like an issue with scope to me.
