Is there any simple way of doing this

Is there any easy way to either set a set a string to always equal a global value OR make a coutner left aligned. Sorry I'm a new at the whole MMF2 thing so I could really use the help

For the string to global value. In your expression editor you can use Val or $Str to convert numbers to string and string to numbers. I have an example of this on my website that you can download look at the coding.

To set the string to the global value make this event:

Always - Set alterable string of your string object to: str$(Global Value A)

str$(number) converts a number to text so you can use it in a string object.



To get a left-aligned counter, do exactly the same thing, since strings are left aligned by default:

Always - Set alterable string of a string object to: str$(value("counter"))
