    Hi.

     

    It's because you didn't initialize the counter variable.

     

    It should be something like:

    var counter:Number = 0;

     

    Regards,

    That would be the solution if he was doing counter++, which he's not.

     

    cristianrnumbers, what do you see if you replace the text display code with:

    Text.text = "HELLO";

    ?

     

    Also, using "Text" as an instance name is a terrible, no good, very bad idea. "Text" is a property name. Even if it works, it leads to confusing-looking code. Name your textfields descriptively, or at the very least something like "mytext" or "text1" or whatever.
