I have instantiated in my .as file:
private var heroLives:int;
heroLives = 3;
then later on in the code I call a function called showHeroLives() which looks like this:
public function showheroLives() {
heroLivesTxt.text = String(heroLives);
trace(heroLivesTxt.text);
trace(heroLives);
}
I just used trace to make sure that heroLivesTxt gets updated with heroLives. heroLivesTxt is a dynamic textfield on stage. If I comment out showHeroLives() so it doesn't try to assign a value, the assigned value (within the stage) of heroLivesTxt shows up. But once I implement showHeroLives() to update the text through code, it disappears, even though it trace shows that I have updated the text. Please Help!
