dynamic text fields, how-to...

[Mats Leidö]

I would like to create and position text sprites on stage with the 
puppetsprite command and print different values in the all the text 
sprites. Creating sprites dynamically, positioning them and assigning 
a text cast member to them is working fine.

But putting different strings in the sprites doesn´t work for me, 
since we have to use the member(thismember).text command for that, 
and the same member is linked to all of the text sprites. That would 
mean if we change the text of the text member through one sprite, all 
the other text sprites will update, right? I don´t want that.

Is there any other way of making it work besides creating multiple 
text cast members and assigning each sprite its own cast member? I am 
open to suggestions - I´m not even sure how I would go about creating 
text members on-the-fly. Thankful for any input

P.S. long time no write for me - I have been kinda inactive here the 
last two years or so because of work-related issues. Many of the 
names I remember from 1999-2001 are still on the list though, it 
seems, which is reassuring. Hi to anyone that remembers me... D.S.
