Create button script won't work - why?

[Mike Bonner]

I don't think you can direct where the button goes, the dictionary says:
     Summary: Creates a new object on the current card.
I believe you can get around this by placing a group on your card. Perhaps
with an invisible background, sized to window size.  At this point you can:
create button "Fred" in group "Testing" card "One" stack "Test"
