textbox displays distance between 2 objects

Hello experts,

I'm trying to make a simple game... Rocket (block) takes off from surface (rectangle) and textbox shows distance travelled. That's it

I've checked online and found =[quote:3gr1dir3] Distance(instance1.x,instance1.y,instance2.x,instance2.y)

but don't know how to apply it.

Originally I tried a variable = DIST (distance), but I'm intriged by system action. Here's my capx

rules:

1. Player clicks = TAPS variable adds

2. Bar counts down and when = 0, the rocket (block) takes off.

3. variable "Burnout" starts and counts down from 10.

4. when "Burnout" = 0, I was DIST textbox to display the distance from surface to rocket.

Hope this makes sense.

As you may see, I tried doing this with a variable "DIST", but I cannot get it to stop counting when "Burnout" = 0

Thanks for your time.

if i understand correctly then this is what you probably want

you need version 229 to open it
