Tried everything I can think of call, send, value, even the

of the background (or the groups behavior). makes no difference if it is
just a shared group or a background. It comes down to the target always
referencing the current card instead of the card you are actively targeting
in the script (as in grp 1 of card 3) - that is except of course there is
no shared group on the current card in which case is does what yo would
expect and the target actually targets the "grp 1 of card 3"
Since everything uses this there is no way for a handler to know it was
called using the form "put the card_Number of grp 1 of card 3" rather than
"put the card_Number of grp 1 of card 2" - and so no way for it to return
the text of the group on that card or the hilite of a button on that card -
none, zero.
Sounds like an enhancement request to me. Since there's a focus right
now on supporting custom controls, your timing is probably good.
