I have a text cast member named "Clipboard." If I try to paste the text on the
clipboard into the cast member using the following:

on startMovie
member("Clipboard").pasteClipboardInto()
end

the cast member changes from "Clipboard" to "1." This this a bug? Am I doing
something wrong?

Thanks!

I don't know that it's a bug, but it's obviously causing you grief. You
can always rename the member after pasting into it, so the workaround is
easy:
--
on startMovie
m = member("Clipboard")
m.pasteClipboardInto()
m.name = "Clipboard"
end

I was figuring I could rename the member after pasting, but the fact that the
name was changing made me wonder if I was doing something wrong, and if the
paste was doing other bad things I couldn't see.

Thanks!
