I have a number of custom properties to deal with, and would rather do this in a loop.

So, on a lark, I tried this:

on mouseUp
    set the uFavColor of me to "blue"
    set the tProperty of me to "red"
    put "uFavColor" into tProperty

    answer the tProperty of me
end mouseUp


Obviously the caveat of using the same name for a variable and custom property is well advised! Since the Rev parser obviously first checks for the value of the variable before the custom property.

My question, though, to save me a lot of lines of code, is:

Does anyone do this routinely? (Refer to a custom property with a variable name) Is this unsafe? Or something that might change in 2.9 or 3?

I don't want to depend on a technique that is more trickery than solid programming.


(The reason I'm doing this is that I have a lot of custom properties that contain binary file data with sequential names and want to spit them all out into files in a simple loop and not manually by naming each explicitly- perhaps there is a simpler way?)
