the script - Further details examples.

[K]

The editScript message is a after the fact process.  I need to munge the script prior to it being set. Since the script with my macros is not necessarily valid and may encounter several if a multitude of errors.  I was wondering if I could place a setProp/getProp handler in the front scripts to intercept the script upon storage and retrieval.  This would allow me to expand/collapse the code.  


setProp script aScript

	local tExpanded
        
        --
        --Munge script and expand macros
        --

        --
        --Now here is the real problem will the call to set the script
        --go to the appropriate object since this is a front script?
        --
        set the script to tExpanded

end script

getProp script
	
      local tCollapsed
      local tScript
	
      --
      --Now here is the real problem will the call to set the script
      --go to the appropriate object since this is a front script?
      --
      put the script into tScript

      --
      --Munge tScript into tCollapsed
      --
	
      return tCollapsed

end script
