Missing digits when replacing single digit item with two digit item?

And here is the button script to move the player’s game piece:

on mouseUp
   put cd fld "username" of cd 1 into tTargetPlayer
   put the loc of cd btn tTargetPlayer into tTargetPlayerLoc
   put 1 into x
   repeat 15
      put the id of cd button ( "Button" && x ) & return after GameSpots
      add 1 to x
   end repeat
   
   put 1 into x
   repeat for number of lines in GameSpots
      if the loc of btn id (line x of GameSpots) is tTargetPlayerLoc then
         put the short name of button id (line x of GameSpots) into tLabels
      end if
      add 1 to x
   end repeat
   put char 1 to 2 of word 2 of  tLabels into tCurrentSpot
   put tCurrentSpot + (cd fld "DiceRoll") into tButton
   if tButton > 15 then
      put 1 into tButton
      move cd button tTargetPlayer to the loc of cd button ("Button" && tButton)
      
      put urlEncode(tTargetPlayer) into tUsername
      put urlEncode("Button" && tButton) into tButtonSpot
      put "username=" & tUsername &"&ButtonSpot=" & tButtonSpot into  tArgList
  post tArgList to URL "http://jpatten.on-rev.com/superdupergame/moveplayer.lc"
  put  it --into tData


   else
      move cd button tTargetPlayer to the loc of cd button ("Button" && tButton)
       put urlEncode(tTargetPlayer) into tUsername
      put urlEncode("Button" && tButton) into tButtonSpot
      put "username=" & tUsername &"&ButtonSpot=" & tButtonSpot into  tArgList
  post tArgList to URL "http://jpatten.on-rev.com/superdupergame/moveplayer.lc"
  put  it --into tData
end if
end mouseUp

It moves around the digital game board to the loc of each of the other 15 buttons. I am attempting to save the players information into a single line, in a text file, on the server. I’m using LC Server to manage the text file. Each line on the the text field holds the username, password, emailaddress, and player’s game piece button location. So a line in the text file would appear as: jpatten,password,jpatten at bmail.com,Button 2

The LS Server writes the current players location by putting the name of the button it is over. So if the player is currently at Button 2, rolls a 3, their player moves to the loc of Button 5 and server writes Button 5 into the last item of the text entry for that player. So that players entry into text file becomes: jpatten,password,jpatten at bmail.com,Button 5.

I can tell by examining the code that it is exchanging, say Button 9 for Button 12 in a move of 3, but when it puts Button 12 in for item 4 it only writes  “Button 1,” leaving out the 2 in twelve. If I go around the board, to single digits, the code works again.
