When using buttonSetAction for an ActiveText control from a script, you cannot use any variables local to the script in it.

/* This will print 'any bar' in the hint box,
 since _foo has no value according to buttonSetAction */

_foo = "foo";
buttonSetAction [100, "hint format[""%1 bar"", _foo];"];
