General Intersect

[TJ Frame]

Aso, If you might end up intersecting more than one button, you could create 
a subset list of all buttons that match with something like the following:
 put 1 into counter
 repeat for the number of btns
 if the number of btn "targetButton" = counter then next repeat
 if intersect(button "targetButton", btn counter) then put the short id of 
btn counter & cr after hitList
 add 1 to counter
end repeat
 --- each line of hitList will contain the id of a btn that intersects with 
your target button
  this runs pretty fast. On my system, searching through 850 buttons took 18 
milliseconds on average
