Hello! I'm completely new to AngelScript and I'm doing my first steps to implement my own GUI subsystem based on AS. Currently I use xml definition to lay-out GUI elements and I'd like to use AS for event handling. Is it possible to execute an arbitrary script section, not just an arbitrary function (like in events sample from sdk)? Consider the following example:

// a bit ugly example, imagine a little xml file containing AS statements

<button id='button01' x='10' y='10' disabled='yes' on_click='enable_button("button01")' />

<button id='button02' x='10' y='20' on_click='if(buttons["button01"].disabled() == true) do_something()' />

...

<script>
 void enable_button(string& id)
 {
    // 
 };

 void do_something()
 {
    // GUI magic goes here
 };
</script>

There are 3 script sections in the example above: button01's on_click, button02's on_click and <script>..</script>. Due to design of my GUI subsystem it is very easy to handle all of these sections inside xml definition and pass them to the AS compiler to compile as a single module. But how do I execute on_click sections? Is there any way?

Andreas, thank you very much for the answer!
Could you please explain asEXECSTRING_ONLY_PREPARE flag? What does this preparation mean?

thanks, nice feature... will try to use!
