Try the following:

1) When you create a new master (and detail) card give them both the same
   name.  (set the name of this card to "whatever")
2) The script of your button then becomes one line
   go card (the name of this card) of bkgnd "otherBackground"

You could also save the ID of the other card and replace the name with the
ID as you seem to be trying now.  The important part is to specify which
background to look at.
