Quick question con. paragraph, need this tomorrow

[Leander]

Hi.

I have a quick question concerning paragraphs. Please answer asap as I need to know this tomorrow...my girlfriend has her birthday.

start of level: make text string invisible
timer equals 3: make text reappear, display paragraph 1
timer equals 6: display paragraph 2
timer equals 9: display paragraph 3

I tried display paragraph... and next paragraph (time = 6 and 9)...but the paragraphs overlap. I want them to be displayed one after the other. I also played around with "timer equals 3: erase text, next paragraph" but then nothing is displayed.

Please help.

Changing the paragraph of a text object should replace it outright without them overlapping. I'm not sure what problem with the display could cause the original paragraph to stay behind.

You could try separating them out into different String objects to see if that helps.

I have different string objects now. Save background is off. Still the text cannot be deleted. Destroy doesn't help. Erase text doesn't help.

Even if I use "upon pressing spacebar: erase text or destroy" nothing happens.

Upload an MFA example of the problem?

I selected a different font and recoded some bits...now it works. Well. LOL
