Personally, I really dislike the fact that the IDE inserts *anything* into
my scripts. So for situations like this, I always remove the mouseUp handler
and put in an empty comment, so the script of a button is simply:

  --

That way, I *know* I've set it; if there's a mouseup/end mouseup handler in
a button, I don't know if I've set it or the IDE has. And that way I know
for sure the mouseup handler will pass on to the next object in the
hierarchy.
