You could do the global thing. You could also write an initialization routine, something like:

on initLocals
  put "whatever" into buttonPlay
  -- etc.
end initLocals

Then you can call it whenever you update the script. You can even do it automatically, something like:

try
  add the width of buttonPlay to x
catch tSomeErr
  initLocals
  add the width of buttonPlay to x
end try

...although that gets a bit unwieldy.

I'm looking for a way to employ concise persistent variable names in a
script.

Currently, I'm using the form:

  get the hilite of buttonPlay

...where buttonPlay is a script local variable containing the absolute
reference to a control. The problem is, as soon as I edit the script, the
value of buttonPlay is lost. I have about 15 of these references to manage.
