How would i obtain the owner of a message sent through the message que or path.
Or in other words, if im wording that wrong, how would i get the name of the object who's script has been called or is being called. I want to obtain the name within the objects script itself, unless i have to get it externally which would still be fine.
Many Thanks,
Christopher

Owner?
I think i just use the "owner" property or obtain the controls name through its id from the mouseControl. This is what im looking for....
Many Thanks,

Hi Christopher,
there are two things you might want to look at.
First is "the target"
The target will contain a reference to the object that originally received the message. However, that would not necessariely be "the sender" as I would define it. If you want to find out who originally send the message, you might need to look at the (undocumented and thus unsupported) exectutioncontexts.
This will hold a lot of information on who send and who received the message.
Hope that helps,
Malte
