You can also achieve the same effect when loading your script in the 
first place:

local aSource = "function onClick() return true end"
local aChunk = loadstring( aSource )
local anEnvironment = {}

setmetatable( anEnvironment, { __index = _G } )
setfenv( aChunk, anEnvironment )

aChunk()

for aKey, aValue in pairs( anEnvironment ) do
        print( aKey, aValue )
end
