Invisible strings can't be changed

[DavidN]

Here's another little bug (and it took me ages to work out why it was going wrong) - it seems that if a string is invisible, any actions that change it (changing its paragraph, or its alterable string) are ignored. Compare the Flash and MFA here - the Flash version stays on its original string.

Interesting... if you untick "Visible at start of frame" in the string's properties, then it works as expected.

You're right! With no changes to the events or anything - that's even odder... so it seems that strings that have been made invisible using the "Make invisible" action don't get changed, and that the "Make invisible" action is ignored (and so doesn't cause the problem) when the string is already invisible? Or something.
