ummmm. okay. i dont know how & where i would apply that?
What you dont understand? The instructions are extremely clear to me.
where exactly within my script do i add the ampersand symbol (&)?
You have an ampersand symbol on your text block:
myTextField.text = " RoCkit Q & A....."
Replace the & for its matching hexadecimal value, accordingly to the table on the link i gave you.
