I would recommend not putting 60 lines of script in your template
button...doing that means that every time you copy the button all 60
lines goes with it (10 buttons created means 600 lines of script, etc.)
Instead I would do something like this:
on mouseUp
DoMyCustomButtonMouseUpRoutine
end mouseUp
Then, the "DoMyCustomButtonMouseUpRoutine" handler or function can be
anywhere in the message path. What's nice about this is that if you
use this button in different stacks (or on different cards), each stack
or card could have its own version of the
DoMyCustomButtonMouseUpRoutine handler, making the button even more
versatile.
If you need more control over which routine is called, you could pass
the name of the button to the DoMyCustomButtonMouseUpRoutine handler
and then make a decision about which routine to call based on the name.
For example:
on mouseUp
put the short name of me into theShortName
DoMyCustomButtonMouseUpRoutine theShortName
end mouseUp

Eric,
The thing I hadn't figured out that lead me down the present path was
that I couldn't figure out how to add the script to the template
button.
If you are building the script at runtime, my approach won't work. If
you're selecting from a finite number of pre-written scripts, store
each
script in a separate invisible template button.
