No, unfortunately there isn't.

Again, this can't be done at the moment.
I think I will whack in a simple mechanism for loading scripts on startup,
and for executing scripts as well. It may not be the perfect way to do it,
but at least there will be something there.

Aye, I think there needs to be a more sophisticated script editor as well.

First here is a little handy function from common/scripts/test.js:
function showParams(obj) {
for (x in obj)
print(x + ": " + obj[x]);
}
It will come in very handy.
------
To select an object do this:
Scene.selectObject('objectname');
or
Scene.selectObject(actualJavaScriptAztecObject);
------
This is is very non obvious, to select all objects, do this:
Scene.KEditSelectAll();
Note the very horrid name of it. This is the same name of the function that
is bound to a keypress when you customise your keys.
------
Here is an example of getting all the selected objects in a scene:
function printSelectedObjects() {
selObjs = Scene.getSelectedObjectList();
for (x in selObjs) {
print('Object ' + selObjs[x].Name + ':\n');
showParams(selObjs[x]);
}
}
------
