A perhaps better way is to put all your functions that you want to call "remotely" in a button or a script only stack and when you first open your stack insert the script of <said object> into front or back. One thing to keep in mind however is scoping. "this" for example refers to the object which called the command or function, and NOT the object the front or back script is in.
