I used to make my script look something like:

on mouseUp
  rescopy ...
  push card
  go home
  pop card
end mouseUp

This closed and then reopened the stack so that HyperCard looked at the
resources again.  If you don't want the user to see the movement, simply
lock the screen.  You may also want to set the lockMessages to true but I
don't remember if this causes a problem (since no openStack message is
generated.)
