BTW I worked around this by using my getParentStack() function. Here it is:
function getParentCard pObjectID
put offset("card id", pObjectID) into tStartChar
put char tStartChar to -1 of pObjectID into tCardID
return tCardID
end getParentCard
function getParentStack pObjectID
put wordOffset("stack", pObjectID) into tFirstWord
put word tFirstWord to tFirstWord +1 of pObjectID into tParentStack
return tParentStack
end getParentStack
NOTE: I only use single word stack names. This function will have to be
reworked to account for multi-word stack names. Honestly though, if people
would follow basic conventions about naming things, everything gets much
simpler.
