How do I create sprite with text object associated ?

hii everyone in am working on game in which gems are created after time to time.

cannon have to destroy all the gems by bullet..

example: gems have life of 5 .

when bullet collide with gems life of gems life = life - 1;

i want to know how to show life on gems .

i already tried to create text object with gems(sprite) but when i am trying to set text = life of gems construct set text to all the gems which all in screen .

like we have 5 gems in screen when i hit a bullet to any gems (life of this become 4 if previously 5)

then it set text 4 to all the gems which are on screen (but all gems have there life of 5 ) .

i just want to set text to particular gem which is now hit by not all

Containers should help with this.

Thanks Ashley

Ashley .

is there is any limit that how many object can associate with single container?

i have one container in which 2-sprite and 1 text object = 3 object

but when i add particle object to container then all object are get destroyed after 1 second after creation

There is no limit. If you read the documentation you'll note all objects in a container create and destroy together. So if the Particles object is set to destroy after 1 second, and it's in a container, it'll destroy the whole container.
