update a textfield

#1

Hi I have an array of pictures and a textfiled

When the app starts it shows the index.
Like this:
local textObject = display.newText( imageIndex, 100, 100, nil, 24 )

I want the tetxObject to update when imageIndex changes.

Can somebody help me?

Assuming your function that changes your image has access to the “textObject” variable (you may need to make it global), you just do:

textObject.text = “whatever”;

The API documentation lists all this type of information.
