In general I try to "go to TOWN": Touch Only What's Needed.
If I don't need to create an object I probably won't, adjusting an
existing object instead. It only saves one step, but its a savings just
the same.
If you're committed to a script-only stack there's no decision to make:
every control must be instantiated dynamically, because a script-only
stack contains the stack script only, no objects.
Which reminds me: before I run off an spend an afternoon writing one,
has anyone here written a tool that reads a stack laid out with objects
and produces the script needed to recreate it from a script-only stack?
Seems tedious to write, but less tedious than writing instantiation code
for every property of every object of every card of every stack I might
make script-only.
