2. Edit the object’s placeholder script and properties to provide the necessary functionality. For example,
the radio box shown in Figure 15.9 reflects the following changes:
– The Title property was changed to Submit, the text that appears on the button.
– The Close Window function was added to the object. When the user clicks the Submit button, the
window closes.
Tip: After you add a script to an object and then delete the object, delete the object’s script from the Scripts
tab if you no longer need the script. This feature prevents scripts that you might want in the future from
being deleted.
If you rename the script in the object properties, rename it on the Scripts tab also. And if the script is used
in another part of the application, rename it there as well.

An anonymous script is available only to the object that defines it. For example, you might want a simple
Print statement for one button that is not used elsewhere. By writing an anonymous script, you reduce the
number of names to manage in the script. Anonymous scripts also reduce clutter among more important
named scripts in the Scripts tab, because you add them to the object properties.
The following examples show two types of anonymous scripts:
