Hello all. I want to create a game that has a HUD, showing the player’s energy, money and the number of days that has passed. In the hud, I have created an editable text, which I assume would be the same as a dynamic text (I recently transitioned to as3). The editable text also has an instance name. As I create number variables, how would I go about having the variable numbers show up inside the editable text?
