Hi I have got a function which traces out the correct answers to questions the user got wrong.

However I am easily stumpped when it means getting this information into a text field.:shifty:

```auto
 
for(i=1;i<11;i++){
   if(_root.incorrect* == "incorrect"){
   
   // trace works 
    trace(_root.answerArt*)
// text doesn't work
    container.container1.descriptionholder.text = _root.answerArt*
    
    //_root["answerArt"+i]
    }
   }

```

(The final idea is that there are buttons, that once clicked gives the correct answer for the wrong question. But at the moment its just the same result :P)

```auto
 
container.resultsDisplay["indicator"+_root.Butcounter].onRelease = function() {
    trace("press");
for(j=1;j<11;j++){
     if (_root.incorrect[j] == "incorrect") {
    trace(_root.answerArt[j])
     }
}

```

thanks
