Strange button

[Paul Gabel]

Hi Sarah:

Thanks for your suggestions. However, experimenting with the layers  
doesn't seem to help. When I maneuver the troublesome button (actually  
it's an image/control) to the front or the back layer of the controls  
within the group, it doesn't change the situation. No other image/ 
control within this group has this problem, so it has to be something  
inside its 350 lines of script. (BTW, The image/control has a  
blendLevel of 0.)

The salient fact is that when I use option-command-click on the image/ 
control (residing in the group), the script editor shows the card  
script rather than the image/control script (there is no group script).

Any other thoughts on this subject would sure be welcome.
