I have just spent a couple of hours sorting out a problem displaying a variable (Welldone) in a text box. In preview the variable wasn't displayed and this replaced it [ilmObject Welldone]. I eventually realised that I had inadvertantly given the variable and an object the same name. After renaming the variable it displayed as it should. Thought it might help if anyone had a similar problem.

Hi Charles,

From a progammer's perspective - try using a different prefix for different aspect especially variables for example use $variable or myVariable this will help avoid this problem.

I start the name of a variable with v (eg vFix), the name of a text box with t (tFix), a vector with v (vFix), a button with b (bFix), etc.
Make the second letter a capital to make reading easier.
Then you will recognize things in Opus for what they are, both in the organizer and in script.
