				Lingo alt to adding code to an object at runtime

				Was looking for a little help on how I can add code to a dynamically created object in livecode. In Lingo I could do the following to add an object then add code to it.
What would a script look like to do this in livecode if it is possible?

				Hi
There's a few ways to tackle this:
Livecode has script setting limits as a form of copy protection so you can only use this if your script is under 10 lines:
Set the script of myObject to myScript
An alternative is to create a template control with the script and all other properties set already then:
Clone myTemplateObject
Set the name of it to myObjectName
A better alternative is to use a behavior script so that you can maintain the code in one place. Create a button somewhere with the script you want and then:
Set the behavior of myObject to the long id of myBehavior
Cheers
Monte
