Sorry, I should have said “Use 'before menuPick' or 'after menuPick' instead of ‘on menuPick’.

I've decided to start in on behaviors now as I have so much code that is effectively identical. So I took the code from a menu/button with a menuPick handler and put it in another button, then set the behavior of the first button to the long id of the second. I then set a breakpoint in the behavior script. I still have a menuPick handler in the first button to handle special case menu items for that card, but I commented out the code that is common between them. The trouble is, selecting the menu item does not trigger the behavior. I tried setting pass menuPick in each one, but still no bueno. So which one gets the message first/at all? The behavior or the actual button?
