Displaying a Variable with Dynamic Text in Adobe Animate CC

Hi guys,

I've recently upgrade from Flash CS3 to Animate CC and am having an issue with dynamic text.

 

Back in CS3, I could simply enter the name of a variable into the VAR field in the properties panel of a dynamic text block to display the variables value on the stage.

 

This no longer seems to be the case and I've no idea how to go about it...

 

E.g. I have a variable called counter that tracks how many times a button is clicked. I want to display the value of my counter variable on the stage. How do I do it?

    Just name your textfield and set its value with code.

     

    this.myTextField.text = counter;

    Sorry I wasnt notified that you replied. Thanks for getting back to me.

     

    The question was about printing the value of a variable to the stage with dynamic text.

     

    How can I use dynamic text to print the value of a variable?

    Yes, that was the question. That's why I answered that question.
