Overlapping text issue --Help needed

Games
#1

I have some code that makes it so that when the user clicks a up button the number belows it goes up in value from 1 but when the function displays the number value, it overlaps the next one and so on.

looks kinda like this:

[lua]local numberValue = 0

– Im using ui.lua so for the button, onPress = upButton1press

local upButton1press = function( event )

numberValue = numberValue + 1

local numberValueDisplay = display.newText(numberValue , 5, 70, native.systemFont, 50 )
numberValue:setTextColor( 200,200,200 )

end

– It displays 1 2 3 4 5 all at the same time right over each other. [import]uid: 54001 topic_id: 10345 reply_id: 310345[/import]

#2

use numberValueDisplay.text = numberValue whenever you want to change its text

and at the top (or anywhere before u are using numberValueDisplay) just one time set

local numberValueDisplay = display.newText(numberValue , 5, 70, native.systemFont, 50 )
numberValue:setTextColor( 200,200,200 )
else it will create another object on top of prev
