This is the script to scan for beacons via a button click event:

click:
   call "SCANIBEACONS()"

Upon selection of an beacon within proximity, use a scan event and reference the scandata variable. If the scandata variable is not 0 then there is data and you can extract individual values:

scan:
   if scandata == 0 then
      msgbox "No data?"
   else
      call "getMeasuredObject('beacon','name')"
      $[name] = scandata
      call "getMeasuredObject('beacon','uniqueId')"
      $[uniqueId] = scandata
      call "getMeasuredObject('beacon','batteryPower')"
      $[batteryPower] = scandata
      call "getMeasuredObject('beacon','firmwareVersion')"
      $[firmwareVersion] = scandata
      call "getMeasuredObject('beacon','major')"
      $[major] = scandata
      call "getMeasuredObject('beacon','minor')"
      $[minor] = scandata
      call "getMeasuredObject('beacon','proximityUUID')"
      $[proximityUUID] = scandata
      call "getMeasuredObject('beacon','proximity')"
      $[proximity] = scandata
      call "getMeasuredObject('beacon','txPower')"
      $[txPower] = scandata
      call "getMeasuredObject('beacon','address')"
      $[address] = scandata
      call "getMeasuredObject('beacon','distance')"
      $[distance] = scandata
      call "getMeasuredObject('beacon','rssi')"
      $[rssi] = scandata
   endif
