setScriptList does work with score recording, but it seems almost like
a weird kitbash of slapping together proplists and using variants of
'do' without actually using 'do'. For instance you cna use it to set
behavior parameters as you would with a gPDL dialog, on the fly, and
those params are saved when you do the recording. The procedure's
something like this:
1. Begin recording.
2. Puppet a sprite into an empty channel.
3. Set any sprite params you want.
4. Instantiate behaviors you want to attach withy 'new' to the behavior
itself (oInstance = new ( yourBehavior ) ).
5. setScriptList with the behavior and its params as needed.
6. Keep going until you're all done with the sprites.
7. End recording.
8. Save the movie.

Yes, you also have to set the sprite channel's member to 0 and unpuppet
the sprite! Otherwise you can't add more behaviors later. Weird, all
right.

I'll have to keep that in mind for other versions. ;)
