As2 Question Button that counts read to understand

[Mancent]

Ok I want to make a button that changes a text to count 21+

so lets say we have our button

button.onRelease = function()
{


}

Ok lets say we have a dynamic text

button.onRelease = function()
{

ourtext.text ="0";

}

Ok every time I click the button I want the ourtext.text ="0";
to count + 21

so if i click it once is the ourtext.text ="21";
if I click it again its ourtext.text ="42";

and soon untill limit of 5000

How can I do that?

Assigning a number directly to a textfield, with or without quotes, will result in that turning into a string, which will not matemathically add 21 to the number, but after it, because it will recognize it as a string. What you can do, is to make a variable, and increase it, and then assign that value to your text field:

number_value = 0;
ourtext.text = number_value;

button.onRelease = function()
{

    if(number_value < 5000)
    {
        number_value += 21;
        ourtext.text = number_value;
        
    }

}

Hope it helps
