Bob,

It's better if you just change the rect of the stack instead of changing the
height (which works from the vertical center of an object) and then setting
its top. Something like this (also it's good practice to quote the names of
objects - keeps you out of trouble):

on mouseUp
  put the rect of stack "Armbase" into tRect
  put (item 2 of tRect) + 550 into item 4 of tRect
  set the rect of stack "Armbase" to tRect
  hide button Expand
  show button Collapse
end mouseUp

HTH,
