Random displaying problem!

[Radical]

Hi,

I'm created this program that show a random string depending on what category you have selected in the option menu. It worked well 1 week ago. Now somehow, it doesn't work at all.

I will try to discribe the problem. When a button is clicked it then picks a random object in a zone and changes the alt value a to 1.
If picked object (only 1 for the moment) alt value a = 1 -> set global value "?" to 1+random(18).

All this is very simple and works fine. How ever the next part i am realy scratching my head over, been staring at the problem for a long time and can't find any bugs, and it have been working before.

if picked object alt value a = 1 -> display paragrafh of a specific string object, calculat out the number of the paragrafh option, and retrive the global value "?".

The string pops up but only, paragrafh 1 is display. no matter what the global value "?" is.

Any clues to what the problem can be ?

I will add the MMF 2 File if anyone wants to take a look at it. the code is alittle bit more complexed :P then what i have tried to discribe.

Any help would be appreiated.Random strings Doesn't work.mfa

There seems to be some weirdness with the Display Text action.

Try this:
Move the string object to where you want it to display and make is invisible
Then use the set paragraph action to display the paragraph number selected in your alterable value and make it reappear

I got it to work in your app doing this,

The display text seems to create a new object and it is stuck on paragraph 1 even if you tell it to switch to a different paragraph.
