The hidden script is a password protected part of the script. It is always the left-most
tab (and cannot be moved), so it is executed before the regular script is reloaded.
Anything that is executed within the hidden script is not written to the log.
Logging for the hidden script can be turned on by
checking the
Show Progress for Hidden Script
checkbox
on the
Security
tab of the
Document Properties
. Note that
this will allow others to use the debugger to step through
the hidden code. Since this defeats a main point for using
hidden script, it is not advisable to use this option.
