This is where the Tool Palette comes in.
First, click the rewind button on the Control Panel to make sure you're
at the first frame. Then click on the "A" in the Tool Palette. Then
position the mouse pointer on the Stage and click, then drag to define
a rectangle.
Presto! A text area has just appeared!
In addition, an item has been created in channel 1 of the Score. That
item represents, in the Score, the text field on the screen.
Finally there should be a representation of that
text area in the Cast window, located in box number two. Box number one
should contain your Movie script.
Click on the text area to make sure it's active, and then type in:
Hello, World
Don't worry about fonts or formatting or colors right now.
Now will it work? After all, you have a Movie Script, making sure that
your colors are being displayed properly -- and you have a "Hello,
World" onscreen. Furthermore, if you click the play button, it sure
will seem to work.
