I am a beginner and am hoping for some advice on how to associate a text field only with a specific scene and also, am looking for a way to toggle the textfield on and off. Thank you in advance! Reggie

Sacha, Thank you for this. It is a step forward. I'm still a bit confused though about where to place these variables. In this link: http://www.photographyoptions.net/images/map/tour.html The first scene has no text variable. Scenes 2 and 3 each have different text. I tried inserting the on - off variable into each specific scene, but it didn't work. I have inserted an "onclick" (visible false) variable into the code for the textfield plugin. It causes the text fields to close when clicked upon....but it closes all of them. What must I do to apply the on-off variable only to the scene that is currently displayed? Thank you in advance, Reggie.
