John,

Based on Bert's description I created a small "tutorial"

How to Make an Object (for example MyCurve) Act as Button?

0) Drag out a curve from Supplies, name it MyCurve
1) Show Viewer on MyCurve
2) In Viewer, go to scripts, drag out "emptyScript"
3) Pust some code in the script, e.g. drag out "basic->Make Sound Croak"
4) Click at the oval to the right of the "clock" on the script, select 
"mouseUp"
5) Now when you click on MyCurve, it croaks

The above is one way. Another way is to click on MyCurve and show it's hallo, 
and select from menu:

extras-->add mouseUp action and put a code there like:

self beep: 'coyote'
