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];"];

This command does not overwrite the button's action that was set via "action" in the .hpp of the dialog.

To use variables local to the defining script, a syntax like the one below needs to be used:
_foo = "foo"; buttonSetAction [100, format ["hint '%1 bar'", _foo]];
