First, when I give a text input field a variable name, it displays a generic value such as '_level0.MCname.variableName'... How do I make it so that it is blank until...

I think PHP could be one way to...

Just a :bump: . . . anything? anyone? please?

I was thinking of something along these lines... or possibly using a custom class to handle the avatar/paper doll. Just not sure which is easier, or which is best.


Thanks, and that is good...
