removing fields

[davis]

well let me ask then i am creating new fields based on the # of chars in a
txt document how can i have the projector check for these created fields on
the start of the movie and if they are present unload or erase them since i
want to start fresh every time. thanks

The unloading seems like the most trivial part of the whole process, are
you naming member to match external file names?are things getting saved
by projector between sessions?

there's the erase member command but I don't think that answers your
question

[davis]

the projector is simply creating text fields named newPage1, newPage2,
etc... i need the projector to check at the on prepareMovie handler if these
fields have been created and if so erase them. thanks.

If the members didn't exist at the time the projector was created, then
they won't exist whenever the projector is started. A projector does not
save data between sessions (unless you program it specifically to do so).

You might consider cleaning up excess debris before quitting rather than at
startup. This might be particularly useful during authoring. Just maintain
a list of your newly created members and loop through that list issuing the
erase command before quitting.
