Hmm, I pasted your script into a button (2.7.2, OS X.4) and here is  
what I get with preserveVariables = false (default when launching Rev) -

First click: answer dialog with 5
Second click: answer dialog with 2

I then added some spaces to script and recompiled.  I get the same  
behavior as above indicating that myCheck was reset.

I then set the preserveVariables to true.  The answer dialog now  
displays "2" even after I recompile the script.

Odd that it doesn't work under 10.3.9.
