Sent off-list. I recently did convert_1_2 on my tiny test db in VStudio, then 
used getmedia in Director using v2 to retrieve the #text members into existing 
Director #text members. In all 4 cases, the existing #text members were 
"destroyed" and are now #empty castmembers. (Retrieving identically in 
v1/Director worked perfectly.)

I think this confirms 99% that convert_1_2 fails on #text members.

This is a crucial update for me and of course I need it working immediately. ;-) 
Ideally I could take my already-converted v2 database and do something to it so 
the #text members would work. They might still be in there. I've spent a lot of 
time working on this database since converting it from v1.

But it would be acceptable to simply get a new version of VStudio that does the 
conversion correctly, in which case I could repeat some of my work but it 
wouldn't be too bad.

Thanks.
