ok, I make input text and gave him the var “Roc”  
I created box and give him the name “box”

Now, I made button with the action:

on (release) {  
setProperty(“box”, \_rotation, “???”);  
}

What I need to write instead of the ??? for get the value of the input text?

thanks! :battery:

and sorry about my english :A+:
