I am learning to script and I have a question..

Can't you also do,

[lua]

box["childsname"]

[/lua]

Sorry it's been a while since I've scripted in Lua.

The advantage of doing it that way is that you can use variables. box.variableName will give you the child named variableName, but box[variableName] (no quotes) will give you the child with the name that is stored in the variable.
