Set variables by clicking text boxes inside a scrolling panel?

I have a scrolling panel that contains 24 individual text boxes. I'd like to change the value of a text variable depending on which text box the user clicks, but I can't get it to work. The variable changes if I click any other object on the slide, so I know the variable is set up correctly. 

Does putting a text box in a scroll panel prevent it from changing a variable? What am I missing?

Thanks!

  • Hi, Walt. Thanks for putting that quick example together. That's exactly what I was trying to do, but it wasn't working.

    As luck would have it, now it works fine. I guess it just needed to rest over the weekend. If it starts acting wonky again, I'll submit a support ticket. 

    Thanks again.
