Is it possible to set up the text objects in Hollywood Designer so that they always reflect the value of a variable (or table element)

Example...

My page has a script at the beginning which generates a list of 12 names and places it in a table called names${}.

I have a function fillnames(), which fills the values of mynames${} with 5 different elements from names${} (initially the first 5 elements)

I have a panel at the side of my screen which has 5 text objects, which need to be set to display myname$[1] to myname$[5].

I have a down arrow button which calls fillnames() and gets the next 5 elements.

The entire script is working but I need a way to make sure the text objects always reflect the first 5 values of mynames$.

Can this be done?

I don't think this could be easily done with Designer. Better use Hollywood for that...

That's disappointing. Any chance that this feature will make it into a future version of designer?

Probably not. I don't think how such a feature could integrate nicely with Designer's concept. It's too dynamic for Designer
