The problem with text (or fields for that matter) members is that you can´t change the text within the sprite without affecting the member itself. It does not work for text or fields as it does for shapes. With shapes you can create different sprites (instances of the original object if you´re familiar with OOP), but it is no good with text. If you "create" an instance of the text (i.e. sprite) and you change that instance, you will change the original member of the cast, no matter what. That´s why you´re having this problem. The only solution is the one Daniel talked about. Sorry, but it seems youll have to rewrite quite a lot of code. Isn´t it annoying when you find out that something is not working corretly just when you are deep inside coding and have done most of it, and it is just (at least in this case) from some malicious glitch in Director.
