Another alternative is the very useful Custom Property. I have one button
called "scripts", and I have a custom property for each AppleScript. This
way there is just one button, and all scripts are listed nicely in the
Inspector.

For example I have a custom property called "open_files". I run the script
by saying:

do open_files of btn "scripts" as AppleScript
