With a script, how can you insert something, and place it's parent?
With a script, how do you give it a parent, like a GUI,
Say you inserted a ScreenGui, and you want to put a frame inside of the ScreenGui. Would you do it this way?
local s = instance.new("ScreenGui")
local f = instance.new("Frame",ScreenGui)
Is that a way to do it? Is it like inserting a brick into workspace from script?

Indeed, that is the correct way. But you would not be able to see it as you have not set the ScreenGui a parent:
also, ScreenGui's would be put in the PlayerGui's, so here's the correct script
player = game.Player.LocalPlayer
s = Instance.new("ScreenGui", player.PlayerGui) --Puts a ScreenGui in the PlayerGui
f = Instance.new("Frame", player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui) --Puts a Frame, inside the ScreenGui, which is inside the PlayerGui

For the second parameter of the second Instance.new call, you can just use 's', since that ScreenGui is already defined as that variable. adark 5487 — 9y

local s = instance.new("ScreenGui",Workspace)
local f = instance.new("Frame",ScreenGui)
That should do it :)
