Im simply used  
on (release) {  
\_root.screen = 1  
}  
screen being a dynamic text box, and this code being attached to a button labled “1” . if attached the code to all the other buttons, replacing 1 with the appropriate code, but when i press a new button, it replaces the number displayed

on (release) {  
oldtext = \_root.screen;  
root.screen = oldtext + “1”  
}

is what youll need, just replace “1” with what ever you want it to add
