Create button script won't work - why?

[Bob Sneidar]

You cannot create a button "in" a card. The "in" keyword only works with a group. You have to actually go to the card you want to create a button on. To go to a card in a stack you don't want your user to see, simply open the stack invisible, then close it when you are done. You can always push card before you do this and pop card when you want to return.
