This should work:
Blocks[varName] = 0 -- false
but you are confusing data types. You have defined your property list
as containing only symbols (#click00) and then you try to change
items in the list using a string ("click00")
set varName = Blocks.getPropAt(x) -- Try this
set varName = string(Blocks.getPropAt(x)) -- Instead of this
If you prefer verbose syntax to dot: try setProp instead of setAprop.
The latter inserts a new property if there isn't already one with the
same name.
-A.
