dynamic text with on/off state HELP!!!!!

[simonekw]

Help! I'm working on a movie when a button is pressed text will appear on screen with a 40%transparent background box with the movie still playing behind it. The button needs to be able to turn the text on and off at any point. Do I need any particular scripting? Please help!!!

You can use a conditional statement(if..else) to do this.
To clear the text, just say:
sprite(x).member.text = EMPTY

Try out yourself first. If you really cannot figure out how to do this, I have a script ready here.

sprite(x).visible = NOT sprite(x).visible

will toggle the text sprite on and off ... changing teh sprite's text itself is

sprite(x).member.text = "New Text Here"
