New to construct and frustraited... sorry.

I'm building a fantasy football app, which I will gladly share :)

I'm new to construct. I've dabbled in programming, and I can usually pick it up really fast, however I do best with either books (which I can't seem to find for construct), and analyzing code from other projects - which I haven't been able to figure out how to do that here either...

Anyway, I am trying to use button clicks with JS. I can get the "alert" box to work, but I am not having much luck with getting anything to display in the text box.

Button>onclick> JS: alert("Hello, World!"); - This makes the alert box.

Button>onclick> JS:

var textObject = runtime.objects.PW;

textObject.text = "Hello, World!";

Does not work...

Thank you in advance... More questions coming as I learn this :)

var textObject = runtime.objects.PW;

textObject.text = "Hello, World!";

This is a common mistake that confuses object types with object instances. You are trying to set the text of the object type, but only actual instances have a text property. You need to call getFirstInstance() to get an instance which you can then change the text of.

I strongly recommend taking the Learn JavaScript in Construct tutorial course which covers all of this kind of thing, in particular part 11 which covers Construct's APIs.

You can write your discord nickname, I will contact you and I can answer your questions.
