Hi Ali,
Perhaps it would be possible to add a few lines to the parser, which
would make it possible to run syntax like
put (the cSomeProperty of this card)["some index"] into myVar
The parentheses would indicate that additional parsing is necessary,
while nothing would need to happen without parentheses.
I.e. any property in parentheses should also be available as an array,
but a property that is not in parentheses stays a property as in the
current situation.
Another option would be to create an additional array() function, which
works either like an in-line split or as a way to convert a property to
an array:
put array(the cSomeProperty of this card)["some index"] into myVar
put array("a,b,c,d,e,f",comma,"")[1] into myVar --> myVar = a
On the other hand, we still have the customProperties and
customPropertySet properties, which allow you to do exactly the same,
although the notation is different and I believe they don't allow
multidimensional arrays.
on mouseUp
put 1 into myData["cProp1"]
put 2 into myData["cProp2"]
set the customProperties["someProp"] of me to myData
set the customPropertySet of me to "someProp"
put the cProp2 of me
end mouseUp

I wonder if this is something we can fix. At the moment "the keys" is
hard-coded to allow the drag/clipboard data properties as source arrays.
There's probably a parsing ambiguity involved in having an object property
source that is not currently obvious to me.

Indeed, or you can force evaluation to an array using brackets.
put the keys of (the properties of btn "File" of grp "mcp_menu" of cd 1 of

Hi,
Actually, a property isn't an array. You have to put the properties
property into a variable to make it an array.

The properties property is an array so a simple put will not display

Yes, but
put the keys of the properties of btn "File" of grp "mcp_menu" of cd
1 of
stack "old_cp"
also comes up empty.
I found this when setting the properties of one button to that of
another;
a line of code that got used for a year or so on every single version
change. It bombs out of the script with only an error in the message
box.
