Intercepting 'set the script..." in the IDE editor

[Bill Vlahos]

Dar,

ActionCompile is called when you click the Apply (compile) button in the IDE. I believe it is called before the actual compile. If you don't have the "pass actionCompile" statement it doesn't compile.

on actionCompile
   --your code here
   pass actionCompile
end actionCompile
