Tracking And Deleting Objects Via Custom Properties?

[Mike Bonner]

Probably something like this would work.

on mouseUp
  put the buttonList of current card into tButtons
  put the short name of last btn into tTargetButton
  put lineoffset(tTargetButton,tButtons) into tOffset -- get the matching
line number in tButtons
  if tOffset > 0 then -- if there was a match...
     delete line tOffset of tButtons -- remove the button name from the list
     delete button tTargetButton -- delete the butotn
     answer tTargetButton & "Button has been deleted."
     set the buttonlist of the current card to tButtons -- set the property
to the adjusted tbuttons
     end if
end mouseUp
