Action for changing Sheet Alternate State

I feel like this would be simple, but maybe I'm missing something:

I have a button that is supposed to set the alternate state of all the objects on a sheet to a certain state. If I write an action for each chart and listbox, this works as expected. But this doesn't work for the sheet (and thus the inherited-state objects on the sheet). Is there anyway to change the state of MANY objects on the sheet without having to write an action for each one?

This works:

Action: Set State Name

Object ID:TB06

State: ='State002'

This doesn't:

Action: Set State Name

Object ID:SH02

State: ='State002'

Am I missing something simple here, or is this a limitation of the Set State Name action (undocumented?) that I'm going to have to write an action for every object?

Thanks to the community in advance,

~Zack

I think that Object ID always means the ID of a sheet object, never a sheet itself. But you should be able to achieve pretty much the same result with the Copy State Contents action.
