# script

`set [the] script of [ph:object] to [ph:text]`

The `script` property returns or sets a text string equal to the script of the specified object in the current stack or in the stack script of another stack.

When you set the `script` property with the `set` command, you replace the existing script entirely.

## Examples

get the script of card 1
if "mouseUp" is not in it then addMouseUpHandler it

set the script of bkgnd field "Index" to ¬
the script of bkgnd button "Index"

set the script of stack "My Stack" to empty
```

## Demo Script

on scriptDemo
 answer "The script of this field is:" & ¬
 return & return & the <b>script</b> of me with "OK"
end scriptDemo
```
