which device sim or you using 500,700 is off screen if using iPhone 3
and Number(16) doesn’t display the number 16 either just use 16 or before that line Number=16 then just use Number in display.newText [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 16995 reply_id: 63775[/import]

because highScoreLabel is a table or a display object, where as highScoreLabel.text is a string.

so bear in mind that

“16” can be compared with highScoreLabel.text as both as strings, but there can be funny results if you compare strings, so it is best to convert both into numbers for conversion.
