How to get rid of a front script

[Scott Rossi]

Hi Ruedger:

Each line in the list you received is an object whose script is currently acting as a frontScript.  If you script something like "put the short name of (line 1 of the frontScripts)" you will get the name of the button that appears in the first line of the frontScripts list.

You say you deleted the button that contained your original frontScript.  If this is really the case, it should be impossible for the script of that button to be operating for two reasons: the script isn't around anymore, and frontScripts are not persistent between launches.  You have to insert frontScripts for them to be used.

Perhaps you had multiple buttons named "btTest" or you have another object that contains the test script.  Checking which frontScripts are loaded will show you.
