Have you ever had a project where there are editable fields that should always start off blank, but Director keeps saving the info you filled in last time you tested the file in Authoring mode? Well, this should be a problem no more. Note that this will clear ALL editable fields, so if there are some that need to have a default value, you should include that in the sprite's beginSprite handler. I usually will put this into the startMovie handler so everything always starts off fresh.

on clearEditableFields   repeat with iCast=1 to the number of castlibs     repeat with iMember=1 to castlib(iCast).member.count       if castlib(iCast).member[iMember].type=#text then         if castlib(iCast).member[iMember].editable=1 then           castlib(iCast).member[iMember].text=""         end if       end if     end repeat   end repeat end
