I'n not sure how you code is setup, but I use a similar layout and very 
simple supporting code.

To fill the index list I just use:

   put the cardnames of this stack into fld "index"

To go to a card I have this in the "index" field script:

   on mouseUp
     go cd (the hilitedLine of me)
   end mouseUp
