i am using the 'text x,y,string' code

what i want printed to the screen is a number eg/ 100. i am having to convert the number into a string using str$(). what i want to do is to decrement the number but i cant find away to convert the string back to a number and decrmement it and reprogram it as a string i have tried a variaty of this such as val() etc... is there another way to do this as i think im quite wrong

for i=1 to 100
text rnd(600),rnd(400),str$(i)
wait 100
next i

ten seconds worth of numbers counting up as they fill your screen, if you do the str$ inside the text command then the value I remains a number and only ever gets converted to a string inside the text command, if you wanted the number to become a string then do

number$=str$(number)

and that makes your number a string, hope thats some help.

U said "decrement" right?
DON'T forget to use "step -1" if u are using the for/next command.



I needed 3 hours to see it's wrong
