How to update Dynamic Text element in Canvas?

[GmR]

I have some text to return to my Canvas after an Ajax lookup, and wondering how to create a dynamic text element and set and read its value within the HTML5 canvas?  Have tried... but to no avail.

Thanks,
Geoff

Just name it, then assign whatever you want to its text property.

this.myDynamicTextfield.text = "I am the very model of a modern major general.";

Thanks, but as far as I can see I have done exactly that.  I have a 1 frame Timeline.  On the canvas I have a dynamic text element with the instance name "myDynText" ( Arial, bold, 20pt, colour purple). 

In my frame script is:

this.myDynText.text = "Processing... please hang on...";

But nothing appears on the canvas when testing.  No errors appear on the Output.

Can you suggest what might be wrong?

I have found the issue was with some other code in my test.  Thanks for your help.
