This command works great. Many Thanks! :-D Terry Judd wrote: For example, I created a control, by script, and I want to make sure that it's identical to another control created by a different script. How about copying the objects to the clipboard and then querying the clipboardData["objects"]. I am not sure how I could use this code to compare the properties of two controls. How about comparing the properties arrays of the two controls In the following example I simply created two identical buttons on a blank stack. They should be identical in almost every respect, the exceptions being their ids their rects and their layers. If you put the properties array of each object into separate variables and delete the elements for those three properties from each variable then the two variables should be equivalent. on compareProps put the properties of btn 1 into t1 put the properties of btn 2 into t2 delete variable t1["id"] delete variable t2["id"] delete variable t1["rect"] delete variable t2["rect"] delete variable t1["layer"] delete variable t2["layer"] put t1 = t2 end compareProps Alternatively, you could simply iterate through the keys of the properties of the two objects and compare the values of the individual properties. Terry... Thanks again for your help!
