Here's a bit from the documentation (About properties, custom properties, and property sets): -------- A custom property is a property that you define. You can create as many custom properties for an object as you want, and put any kind of data into them (even binary data). The value of a custom property can be a string or array. You can define custom properties for any object, but you cannot define custom global properties. Use a custom property when you want to: * associate data with a specific object * save the data with the object across sessions * access the data quickly Using the value of a custom property: Custom property references look just like built-in property references. For example, to use a custom property called "lastCall", use a statement like the following: put the lastCall of this card into totalWidths Creating a custom property: If you set a custom property that doesn't exist, Revolution automatically creates the custom property and sets it to the requested value. This means that you can create a custom property in a handler or the message box, simply by using the set command as shown above. You can also view, create, and delete custom properties in the Custom tab of the object's Properties palette. Changing custom properties: You set the value of a custom property by using its property name with the set command, in the same way you set built-in properties: set the myCustomProperty of button 1 to false ------ Glossary definition of custom property: custom property An object property you define. A custom property can hold any data you want to associate with the object. ----- If this doesn't help, please let me know.... -- Jeanne A. E.
