LiveCode Forums.

I have begun to see references in the tutorial regarding coding in a script instead of (for this example) the properties box.


My question is how does one open a script and run the commands therein? I have been able to run some of the code samples in a button's code box but I'm not sure if that's what it is referring to or if there is just another development interface that I missed somehow.

Thanks for your help.

Hi.

The "message box"?

Can you drag a button, say, from the tools palette? If so, can you select the pointer (not browse) tool and open the inspector for that button? In the upper right hand corner of the inspector, you will find a small triangle tha gives you the option to open the script editor for than object.

There are many convenient shortcuts to all this, but those for later...
