Use the pass command to send a handler to the next object in the hierarchy. For the Revolution's Native Message Path, have a look to the RIchard Gaskin's web site here : http://www.fourthworld.com/embassy/articles/revolution_message_path.html Now for using setProp and getProp... Imagine that you have an object myInvoice defined by two dates, an old date and a new date. In a process you want to set a new date to the invoice but you want to keep the old date to revert change in case of an error occurs. You could define your invoice object like this : local myInvoiceObject -- Create the object with a multidimensional array like a property tree put "theSlug" into myInvoiceObject["client"]["Name"] put "3/1/2010" into myInvoiceObject["dates"]["old"] put "3/25/2010" into myInvoiceObject["dates"]["new"] To keep the Old date you could do that : set the myInvoiceProp["old date"] to "3-12-2010" using : setprop myInvoiceProp [ptheProp] pTheValue switch ptheProp case "old date" set itemDelimiter to "-" put item 1 of it into sYear put item 2 of it into sMonth put item 3 of it into sDay checkForValidDate -- a handler to check if the date is valid. If not throws an error put sMonth & "-" & sDay & "-" & sYear into myInvoiceObject["dates"]["old"] set itemDelimiter to "," break case "new date" .... case "client" .... default answer "Error - property not exists !" pass myInvoiceProp end myInvoiceProp And now to read the old date from the object you could write a getProp like this getprop myInvoiceProp [ptheProp] switch ptheProp case "old date" return myInvoiceObject["dates"]["old"] break case "new date" ..... end myInvoiceProp To revert the date you could read the property like this: put the myInvoiceProp["old date"] into fld "invoice date" I've not test the code but I hope that the idea of how it works is here.
