The only close solution is do a recursive search for the base class and add
a new ancestor, like this:
on addAncestor me, newAncestor
obj = me
repeat while ObjectP( obj.getaProp( #ancestor ) )
obj = obj.ancestor
end repeat
obj.setaProp( #ancestor, newAncestor )
end
It's also worth pointing out that the same code should work as a movie
script, just don't get confused by the use of "me".
