Right. You won't be able to pass the events directly that way because the 
objects are at the same level in the hierarchy:

image ----- button
            |
          card
            |
          stack

"pass" tells the application "I'm done processing this message, hand it off 
to the next object down the list" (or up the list if you see things that 
way). Even though you're seeing the image as being visually "in front of" 
the button they're peers as far as the message path is concerned. So in 
order to get the "xyz" message between to peers you'd have to have the image 
say

send "xyz" to button "aButtonInThisStack"
