Aligning Text Fields over Frames

I got frustrated in trying to create new screens in which a text field was the same size and position as on other screens. This is an easy way, that works for any type of cast.
  1. Go to a screen that was a sprite in the desired location. Copy the sprite from the score.
  2. Go to the new frame, and paste in the sprite.
  3. Go to the cast window, and copy the cast of the original.
  4. Paste it into an unused cast.
  5. Return to the score from step 2, select the sprite in the score, and Select Switch Castmembers from the Edit menu.
Now you can modify the new cast to its correct appearance. For a text field, it will have the same registration points, width and height of the original. Note that the new cast member, if it is text, will have lost its word wrap- simply select all of the text, and do a Cut and then Paste to correct the wrap.
