Understanding Script ID

This tutorial explains what 'Script ID' is and how to use it. Simply, it is a way to identify different items in a movie. Create a new movie and add a 'Text Box' to the library.

Add three copies of the 'Text Box' to the editor.

Select the first frame of the first 'Text Box' and set its 'Script ID' value to Text1.

Select the second 'Text Box' and set its 'Script ID' value to TextB.

Select the third 'Text Box' and set its 'Script ID' value to Banana. You can make the 'Script ID' anything you like, as long as it is a unique name.

Now, each 'Text Box' has a unique name. There are lots of function available that require a 'Script ID' value. Add this script to the 'On Start' event of the movie.

Press play to test the movie. The text of each 'Text Box' has been set to a different value.
