Hi,

Is it possible to create new expressions within a script? I think I read something about this topic somewhere else, that there was some kind of undocumented method available for creating new objects on the fly? Is this still available?

for new expressions you can use 'decl'
but then you said new objects, which one??

decl test;
or
decl test = something;

Hi
Yes you can create new expression with the decl keyword , however they are restricted in there lexical and temporal scope to the script itself, and its operations . .
You cannot create external expressions as such; there was a function (createobject()) that allowed creation of objects programatically but it is currently deprecated, (though it may be reinstated at some point when fixed)

Hope that helps

Thanks for the replies I was referring to external expressions. The createobject() is what I was looking for, but I understand that it is deprecated for now.

oh, how I'd love a createobject()

canvas in the meantime

yes, but only together with a destroyobject().
