OK, so I know you can make Tool scripts and menu scripts but can you use Lua to make a UI component? As in an actual plug-in with it's own set of parameters and functionality; like something you would see in something like After Effects.

If Moho was accessable in a non-modal window, users could script their own floating windows with functionality, much like the Actions or Styles window. Alas, it is not....

You would have to use wxLua for this, I have done a simple test and it worked fine but only in 32bit.

Ive tried out your example file. It's a little too slow for me. Also, it's a window outside of the programme. I don't think it's an appropriate solution for the fact that Moho isn't passed to a non-modal window. Make it happen lost Marble!
