How about something like this:
-- Create the object when you start, remove it when you stop
on startMovie
new(script "list")
end
on stopMovie
the actorList = []
end
-- List parent script
property pToday -- used to save away date
on new me
add the actorlist, me
end
on stepframe me
today = the systemDate
-- only update when things change. This will happen first time
-- because unitialized properties (e.g., pToday) will be VOID
if today <> pToday then
pToday = today -- save away the change
tm = today.month
td = today.day
ts = today.year
tm1 = string(tm)
td1 = string(td)
ts1 = string(ts)
member("theMonth").text = tm1
member("theDay").text = td1
member("theYear").text = ts1
end if
end
