Re: just curious...

It refers to the reference count of that object.
If you made another variable and made that variable equal to the first and 
then put them both to the message window you would see that the number is 
now 2.

Try this to see.
In a Movie Script put this.
on startMovie
  a = script("test").new()
  put a
  b = a
  put b
end startMovie
In a Parent Script put this.
on new me
  return me
end new
Now run the movie and check the message window.
