Again, sorry for the late reply, but could you use something like this? If you
don't really need to use the filepath in your coding, that is.
getProp robustID
---- a virtual property, read only ----
-- getting the long id of a control can result in different values depending
on
-- (a) where the stack is stored on the user's disk and
-- (b) which card is the currentcard when the property is fetched
-- the robustID is consistent no matter what card is current
-- and no matter which folder the user has stored the stack in;
-- format: button id 1039 of bkgnd id 1003 of stack "subStack1"
-- of stack "tMainStack"
-- the robustID can be used as a complete object reference,
-- just like the long ID
-- requires q()
put the long id of the target into tLongID
replace " stack " with cr in tLongID
put line -1 of tLongID into mainStackFileName
if not (word 1 of mainStackFileName = "stack") then
put "stack " before mainStackFileName
end if
put the short name of mainStackFileName into mainStackName
put q(mainStackName) into line -1 of tLongID
replace cr with " stack " in tLongID
replace " of " with cr in tLongID
put lineoffset(cr &"card",cr & tLongID) into cdLineNbr
if cdLineNbr > 1 then delete line cdLineNbr of tLongID
replace cr with " of " in tLongID
replace "group" with "bkgnd" in tLongID
-- in case the group is not placed on the currentcard
return tLongID
end robustID
function q str
-- quote
return quote & str & quote
end q
