In addition to Jan's tip, a handy thing to know is how to see any of 
the scripts in the Rev IDE:

1. In the Preferences, check the box for "Contextual menus work in 
Revolution windows".

2. Command-control-shift-click (or control-shift-right-click) the 
object you want to look at and choose "Edit Script" from the popup 
menu that shows up.

There is usually some additional scripting to deal with updating the 
IDE, the property palettes, etc., so you may have to parse through 
the script a bit to find the part that's useful for your purpose.
