| Component | Version | macOS | Windows | Linux | Server | FileMaker iOS SDK |
| JavaScript | 10.0 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |

| JSRef | The JavaScript reference number. | $js |
| Name | The name of the function. | "test" |
Result
Returns OK or error.
Description
Adds a function to start scripts from JavaScript.Scripts are queued and run later when JavaScript finished.
The function in JavaScript returns the error code from FileMaker, which is zero for success.
For increased security we prefer all FileMaker developers define their own function name, so if you get some foreign JavaScript, it can't know the function name and mess with FileMaker. Be aware that this function may launch any script in the solution, even those not shown in the menu.
With plugin version 6.0 or newer the script name can be a script ID number. In that case the plugin queries the script name for the given script ID. This allows to call scripts by ID and avoid problems if scripts are later renamed.
Examples
Run a script from JavaScript:
Set Variable [ $js ; Value: MBS( "JS.New" ) ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "JS.AddFileMakerRunScriptFunction"; $js; "FMRun") ]
Show Custom Dialog [ "Result" ; MBS( "JS.Evaluate"; $JS; " \"start script: \" + FMRun(\"JavaScript.fmp12\", \"testRun\", \"Hello World\")" ) ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "JS.Release"; $JS ) ]
