How to select behavior on another card in LC8

[Paul Hibbert]

Try this:

Go to card 2
Open the Project Browser and expand the view for card 1
Right click on the target button of card 1 in the PB and choose ‘Property Inspector’
The PI for the button on card 1 will now allow you to link the behaviour to the button on cards 2

I think that's just wrong… right?
