I've got this working somehow...

Pete: "Sounds like the autohilite property of the button is off."
Autohilite was on.

Devin: "This first thing I do in cases like this is check to see whether I have 
inadvertently created two buttons with the same name. Only the button with the lower 
layer will be affected."

Checked for that.

Stephen: "try using a full path to the object...if the calling script isn't in 
the right place in the message path, it may
never 'see' the object."

This got me closer. It apparently had to do with the visible of the stack being 
false (and maybe a lock screen as well). I set the visible to true and then it 
responded--even though before I could actually see the card ignoring my script.

It seems that invisible stacks don't respond very well (???) I don't think the 
lock screen was throwing me off. But, I may be wrong...
