Gary Collins almost 9 years ago05/15/15 at 3:24 pm (UTC) Ok, looking at your file I thought it would have worked correctly. --> When key pressed add value of 1 to 'cnt' I mean why wouldn't it, you are adding the value 1 to a number variable. To get it to work I used the variable '1' that you had setup already with a default value of 1. So know it is: --> When key pressed add variable '1' (which has value of 1) to variable 'cnt' Maybe someone on the community can explain why your original way wouldn't work, cause I am not sure why. Here is the updated file. textEntry_Limited_v2.story
