The following statement sets keyUpScript to the custom handler myCustomHandler. A Lingo

labelList
Syntax
the labelList
Description
System property; lists the frame labels in the current movie as a Return-delimited string (not a
list) containing one label per line. Labels are listed according to their order in the Score. (Because
the entries are Return-delimited, the end of the string is an empty line after the last Return. Be
sure to remove this empty line if necessary.)

member("Key Frames").text = the labelList
