stumped: set script of buttons at runtime

Hi All, I've been battling this problem for a few days and have no idea where to look next. Originally I thought it had to do with global variable issues between stacks. However, after MUCH hair-pulling it appears the problem has to do with setting the script property of buttons

Re: stumped: set script of buttons at runtime - solution A

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
