Hi Richmond,

Ah, I see my difficulty now, I was trying to say:
put the layer number of btn "Button" into VarLayerNumber
which apparently was too verbose so it didn't work.

Yes, the button is hidden.  I wanted to bring it forward
for testing so I can see it better, make my test changes
programmatically, so I can be sure it did what I wanted
it to do, and then put it back where it was.  Why the
big deal about it?

Anyways, thank you for your help!

Rick

on mouseUp
 put the layer of btn "Button" into  VarLayerNumber
 set the layer of btn "Button" to top
 -- do daft things to btn "Button" --
 set the layer of btn "Button" to  VarLayerNumber
end mouseUp

Not terribly difficult . . .   :)

Mind you, why it is necessary to move the button to
the top layer, do things to it, and move it back again
escapes me when you could just perform your
transformations in situ.
