If that's the case, then schweeet!!! Thanks for that. If you want tabbing, write your comment in notepad, and paste in here, then wrap it with "pre" tags.

If you use a list in a call() method instead of a single object reference, it will send your event message to all script objects in that list. It has the added benefit of NOT causing an error if one of those script instances doesn't have a handler for the event you're sending, thus eliminating the need to check for the handler as you're doing above. The new simplified code would look like this: ===> on broadcastMessage me, msg l = paramCount() a = [] repeat with i = 2 to l a.append(param(i)) end repeat call(Symbol(msg), pListeners, a) end === P.S. Bummer that these comments don't support ANY indenting!!!! Jesse, you might be interested in knowing that you can simplify your broadcastMessage code.
