Description | Use the altID property to specify an additional ID for an object. Both the ID and the altID property are checked when you refer to an object by ID. This property can be used to ensure compatibility with imported SuperCard and HyperCard stacks that assume buttons and fields are created with sequential IDs. You can also use the altID of a stack as a consistent way of referring to it, since the ID of a stack changes every time an object is created.
