Ok here's how I would solve this..

I would set a marker ( label postion) called blank this would be a part in
the movie where no text is entered ie. fresh load.

B. Is it possible to embed text fields into a movie clip...then tell-target
> the different fields from buttons embedded with another clip?


Yes but your field data if any must reside with the same text MC.
