Try not to use Execute function if there is an alternative

MAXScript FAQ > How To Make It Faster > Try not to use Execute function if there is an alternative

Very few cases require the use of the execute function.

MAXScript has many introspection methods and properties:

getPropNames <maxobject>
getProperty <maxobject> <prop>
setProperty <maxobject> <prop> <val>
isProperty <maxobject> <prop>
getInterfaces <maxobject>
<maxobject>.custattributes
<rollout>.controls
getNodeByName <string>

Valid cases are:

Dynamic Rollout creation
Dynamic scripted CA creation
