What is your best practice for setting a script in a script?

[Bob Sneidar]

I wanted to ask why as well. You can put all the scripts necessary in a card, and if you need to know the actual object the user interacted with use the target command. 

Eg.

Local lTargetID

On mouseUp
   Put the long id of the target into lTargetID
   
   /*
   Your script here
   */
End mouseUp
