Hmm, perhaps look some of these lessons over again to get a clearer understanding of whats custom properties are and how to use them in various ways.
http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/tags?tag=custom+properties The old user manual from when LC was still revolution (I believe it was from the Revolution 4.0 era) was also incredibly useful to me. I read it front to back when I first got started. It really gave me a clear understanding of stuff like the message path, custom properties, etc. I however can't find a link to the old style user manual. It also doesn't seem the info in it is translated to the new attempt at a "Developer's guide". Maybe someone on list can upload a PDF of the oldstyle user guide for you.
