Hi,

Pls take a look at my fla.  
I wanted the textbox to display the string contained in the Array.  
The array contains a few strings,  
In Array[0] there is “Apple”  
In Array[1] is “Banana”  
In Array[2] is “Coconut”  
It is supposed to randomly display either apple or babana or coconut in the dynamic text box. I checked using trace, and found that the randomisation works, but the dynamic box just won’t display the words.

Thanks
