You have to put the delete card handler in a higher level script in the message
path. For instance.
put this into the stack script:
on deleteMyCard cdID
delete card id cdID
end deleteMyCard
then put this into the button:
on mouseup
send ("deleteMyCard" && the short id of this card) to this stack in 0 secs
end mouseup
That way the message gets queued to fire after the script of the button is
finished executing. You can't delete an object whose script is still executing.
