It's on the feature-request list, but there's been no breakthrough on
deciding how and where the messages would be delivered (i.e., what
would be "the target" in this case?) and so development of this
feature hasn't been scheduled yet.
As stated in my last message to you:
Things would have been a lot easier if the backdrop had been
originally designed as an object, in which case you'd have been able
to do things like:
set the script of the backdrop to whatever
set the backColor of the backdrop to "red"
set the visible of the backdrop to true
etc...
Unfortunately the SC developers didn't think this far ahead, and this
new architecture is fundamentally incompatible with the current syntax.
