hi all -

i built (following kirupa’s great tutorial) a scrollable text box and placed the entire thing in a movie clip. when i went to change the text for each different clip, i realized it changed the text on all of them. i’m sure there’s a simple way around this, does anyone have any ideas? thank you!!
