hmmm... If by context you mean that if I go to a card in another stack and get
the name of this card, it will return the name of the card I came from and not
the card I went to, I think you are mistaken, but I may have misunderstood
you. I tested this by opening a new stack and putting this script in a new
button:
ON mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
go stack "CSL Launcher"
put the name of this card
go back
END mouseUp
I got the name of the current card in stack "CSL Launcher" (an app I am
creating).
