Edit Score Object

[LeGauche]

Tutorial says to edit the size and color of the Score object, I select it and set the text properties. In my corner of the universe, selecting the Score object sends me to a dialog which states "no object selected" with all the options grayed out. I can hardly wait to see what I've done wrong.

I am not sure how you are doing that.

Just click on the score object

In its properties:
If type is numbers click the edit button to get into the image editor for the graphic numbers.

If you set this to text then click over to the text options tab of the scores properties and edit the size and color of the text there.

How do I upload an image so you can see the screen I see?

Do you have some place where you can upload the picture(screen shot)? Then just make a link here for it.

OK, I feel like a doofus, but how EXACTLY do I create a link?

When you upload to a site like Photobucket,it should give you a direct link to the image. Then you can paste it here on the forums. You can also put [img][/img] tags around it to make the image display in the forum post.

Thanks, LB.

Here's the page. I have selected Score object (lower right) and gotten the non-performing dialog (left) What's wrong?

By default, the score object, like the counter object, is set to numbers. In this mode the object displays as an animation and cannot be edited as text.

Like Jeff tried to say, you have to set the type to text.
You do this in the Settings tab, the first tab to the left in the object's property window. After this is done, the text options will be availible.

Thank you. I hope Francois knows how lucky he is to have such a knowledgeable, tolerant group of experts.
