hi, i am new too, but practise makes progress eh!
to make a handler that will put text into the first six cast members all you need to do is this,
first of all make six text fields, name them appropriatly, then to make a handler, first make a movie script and type:
on textPutter me
member("field1").text = "blaha"
member("field2").text = "blaha"
member("field3").text = "blaha"
member("field4").text = "blaha"
member("field5").text = "blaha"
member("field6").text = "blaha"
end
that should do it

Subject: <lingo-l> New learner: how do write a handler that inserts text memebers in the cast?
Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2002 20:35:41 -0000
Dear group
I'm just starting to learn Lingo (don't have a programming background) and
having worked my way through umpteen pages on the subject, I want now to
create some handlers of my own as an exercise to see how well I understand
the language. So far I have to admit ... I'm not doing very well.
Yesterday, for example, I wanted to write a handler which would insert text
into the first five members of the cast. Could I do it? Not a chance!
I'd be grateful, if anyone could spare a moment and indicate how I might
tackle this - using dot syntax, for preference.
Cheers
John
