reading custom properties

[shadowslash]

i've been wondering, i made a custom property in the stack... the custom propery has the name "test".. it contains a text string "this is just a test".. now i want to use "this is just a test" as the content of my answer dialog, how do i do that?? i tried looking for an answer but i can't seem to locate any...

answer the test of this stack

(assuming you stored this as a property of the stack, and not a button or other object)

You can get and set custom properties just like built in properties.

You could:
answer the width of this stack
or
answer the cTestProperty of this stack
or
put the cTestPropery of this card into field "fldDisplay"

and
set the width of this stack to 500
or
set the cTestProperty of this stack to "Hello World"
or
set the cSomeProperty of button "btnPushButton" [of card "cardName" of stack "stackName"] to "This is some stored text"

I know this is just a test example, but you might want to adopt a naming convention to determine the names of the properties are custom properties, as opposed to variables or built-ins or literals. (Such as cPropertyName or uPropertyName - which are the general conventions).
