I would if problematic make it with 'fields'...they are older applicas in Director, and filled with better evaluated syntaxes.. 'Text members' are of younger age... You can store them in 'external casts' as much as you want, and they are pretty fast in be reached and loaded in.. like in a database. Scrollers are possible to make, changing font-colours of text and its background are also Lingo-stuff to be able to use.. Sticking in them outdoor'-external texts from an external cast of some thousands, every with a number & name in the title, into the scene is made by having a - dummy-field (or more) on stage where you toss in the text....basically said. Same princip is for pictures that are overthrown by the syntax 'duplicate'... And voila.... you can even get sounds in same way fairly said by name of all in same title naming overall of the singel key-word pressed...which runs your picking ups in sounds, texts, pictures. No probs ! This is the main purpose with excellent multimedia... E-learning by touching sounds and moves... I created a source recently in this Lingo-L for those purposes... look back of 2002-lists....Good luck.
