All good suggestions so far, but not what I was after, which was
whether there is any better way to have the script you are setting the
newly created object to, readable, in the script that setup of the new
object. If a behavior script is used or properties or objects then I
can not read (and potentially revise) the script right in the script
that is making the object. I have to open something else if I want to
revise the script. Of course I can have a comment that says "look here
for the script" and it is generally obvious from "set the script of
button "Sample" to <some property and/or object reference>.
OK, how about this ?
on mouseUp
-- using special comments to set script of another object
local tmp
put the script of me into tmp
filter tmp with "*--1 *"
replace "--1 " with empty in tmp
set the script of btn "B" to tmp
--1 on mouseup
--1 put "hello world"
--1 end mouseup
end mouseUp
of course, you could have multiple of them --1, --2, etc.
and you could have metadata, say the first line of each "special
comment" has the object name
--1 -- script for button "abc"
--1 on mouseup
...
--1 end mouseup
