Script reporting capability?
Is there any way of dumping Scripts and associated notes to a text file? Better yet, is there a way to dump said same while a script is running, capturing the sequence of instructions/actions? This would be very useful for debugging, etc. Thanks.

Right click on the stage and click 'save picture of scripts'.

Re: Script reporting capability?
Shift-click file and click "Write project summary". Choose a file name and it'll do it for you!
Or was that not what you meant?

Re: Script reporting capability?
Maybe it's because I'm new at this but your suggestions haven't worked. Right clicking on the stage doesn't show "save picture of scripts;" the only options are "grab screen region for new sprite" and "save picture of stage," the latter saves a snapshop of the stage, not code. Wish it did, I'd like a copy of the "actual code that makes the script run."
As for "Shift-click file and click "Write project summary". ", shift-click what file?

The file menu.
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time
