Theres a couple options that I am familiar with.

You can create a script, change it to a movie script in the property
inspector, then add something like the following.

On preparemovie me
        put "" into member("text1")
        put "" into member("text2")
        put "" into member("text3")
End

OR you could do the same code as above in an on beginsprite in the frame
script.

I suppose another options could be to put the above lines in an on
stopmovie in a movie script so that the text members are cleared when u
stop the movie, so the text wont be saved in the fields.

Subject: <lingo-l> Clearing text member values on start up ... how to?


Dear group
I'm attempting to write a short project to emulate a simple presentation
program. I've designed a screen with several editable members on it for
the user to type in text. I aim to:

- capture the text from each editable member
- save each entry as an item in a list
- display the entries on a pre-formatted screen to make up the
presentation.

I have one problem which is causing me hassles .. after the user types
in text it remains there next time I run the movie. How do I clear the
values in these text members so that the entry screen is blank for the
next user?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers
John
