help with text code

[Anonymous]

Here is code in an object and I can't get the text to show up. I copied the code from another object where the text works just fine. I added dd_x and dd_y to the parameters. Can anyone tell from the my code what I did wrong?? Thanks in advance,

Michele

Are dd_x and dd_y defined in the parameters list?

Michele,
I just copied your code and created all the necessary parameters and it all worked fine.
I'd be guessing it is a problem with your parameters.
i.e. something missing or the wrong parameter type?

Thanks for saying that you started from scratch and it worked. I tried it from scratch and it worked too. I guess copying and modifying something isn't always better (& faster) than just starting from scratch and re entering parameters that you know you'll need.
Thanks again,
Michele
