Using editable text

Editable text lets users enter text on a web page, customize a game, and so on. When text is
editable, editing the text changes the text cast member and all the text in the sprites where the cast
member appears.
You can make text editable and let users tab between editable sprites from Lingo or the Property
inspector (see "Setting text or field cast member properties" on page 285).
You can make a text sprite editable in only a certain range of frames in the Score.
