Actually I was experimenting and wanted to use behaviors dynamically at the time when I wrote this. A proof of principle if you want. It worked surprisingly well. That is why I sticked to behaviors. After fixing some edge cases it even removes the behaviors correctly... At the time there were no guides available for LC. But as of LC 10 Guidelines will be part of the IDE and that looks and works really well. (LC uses a backScript) Kind regards Bernd _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
