Hi Todd,

I just made a test with a mainStack and a sub-stack called "Sub". I
imported an image from the image library and tested it with the
following button script:

on mouseUp
  if there is an img "alerthand.gif" of cd 1 of stack "Sub" then
    delete img "alerthand.gif" of cd 1 of stack "Sub"
    wait 1 second
  end if
  copy img "alerthand.gif" to cd 1 of stack "Sub"
  put the result
end mouseUp

It all worked perfectly whether Sub had the image already or not. (The
wait is only there so that I can see that the original is really
deleted).

You say the error occurs after the image has been copied. What is the
error? What happens next in your script? If you isolate the copying
script completely, does it work then?

Cheers,
Sarah
