I keep trying to make editors of sorts. Things like WYSIWYG HTML editors, animation editors, document editors, things like that. I keep running into the same problem.

Say someone added some text that said "hi", then they added some more text that said "how are you?". How do I keep the first text box from also showing "how are you?" without putting multiple text boxes in the MMF level editor (thus putting a small limit on the number of text boxes). I know there is probably a way to do this with global values, but being an application coder I don't ever use them and so i don't really know how. HELP ME!!!

@Phizzy: Why would an application coder ever need global values other than in a situation like this?

@legendkpr: How are HTML editors easy? Anyway, here's an example.

The user clicks an "add text" button and a new text box is created. Then they change the text to "hi". They create another text box that says "how are you?". Since both text boxes are actually the same object in MMF's event editor, they both change to "how are you?". How can I stop this?

@Phart: If you were a true application developer, you would know that global values make a world of difference, especially outside of MMF.

Use alternative values to assign them their own unique ID:s. Everyone should know that one.
