Helen,  


I agree, one of those SHOULD work... but does not.  Here's the piece of code:


On (Release)

      Set Variable: "n" = Substring (GetProperty("",_name), 7, Length (       

GetProperty("",_name))-6 )

      Set Property ("../button"&n, Visibility) = false

      Set Variable: "location" = linkname

      Begin Tell Target ("../../../../../")

            Go to and Play (location)

      End Tell Target

      Trace (linkname)

      Trace (location)

End On


As I mentioned earlier, the trace's return the correct values... so it SHOULD work.

Go figure.


Patrick
