Hi,
Behaviors used to be called parentScripts. An option could be "this parent".
Also, currently syntax of the form "this control", "this button", "this
group" etc throws an execution error. It would be very nice if this
syntax would be used instead of "this me" and it would make sense.

In what context in the English language would that even begin to make sense?
I've suggested it makes sense if you have multiple-personality disorder ;-)
It's worthwhile reading the thread to get some perspective here.
Here's a few options we've been throwing around:
- the scriptObject - a bit clunky but quite descriptive and works anywhere
- this behavior - also quite descriptive but only works inside a behavior
obviously (perhaps returning the same as me outside a behavior???)
- the behavior - possibly confusing when the behavior of me might return
something else
- this script - doesn't really make sense because what we want is an object
reference
- this me - was originally a joke but was implemented for the sake of
implementing something and to see if somebody came up with something better
I don't think I've missed any. My favorites are still the scriptObject or this
behavior. Mark Waddingham picked this me for the sake of implementing something.
So... if you don't like it then come up with something better ;-)
Cheers
