Devin,
Thanks for the assistance. I'm reproducing the few script lines that I found demonstrate the basic concept (in case there are others here who are as bamboozled as I was):
get line 2 of the customKeys of fld 1 put "answer the "& it &" of fld 1" into thePhrase do thePhrase
That gets me the contents of the property. Apparently you have to use some indirection to get the -contents- of the custom property; why this is the case is beyond me. I'm a Hypercard kind of guy so I expect it all to be totally transparent. (*grin*)
Again, thanks very much.
If you know the key in advance you can write (e.g., for a custom property named "uMyProp"):
get the uMyPop of tMyObj
If you don't know the name in advance and need a bunch of such properties, remember that you can use a custom property set and access its keys with array notation -- if we assume the variable tVar contains "uMyProp" we can write:
get the uMyProps[tVar] of tMyObj
Or you can index a custom property set by numbers:
repeat with i = 1 to 10
set the uMyProps[i] of tMyObj to "somevalue"
end repeat
