That depends...

>I am simply trying to have a button modify its own name like so:

The problem looks to be in the 2nd line, I believe it should be
"the short name of me".  Try typing "the short name of card btn 1" and
"name of card btn 1" in the message box.  You will see the difference.

on mouseUp
   if the short name of me is "ShowIt" then
     set name of me to "HideIt"
   else
     set name of me to "ShowIt"
   end if      
end mouseUp
