How do I make a text to appear?

Hey there,

I have 2 different layouts in my game, and they have a flashing text appearing for 5 seconds.

However, for some reason, they do not appear everytime I go to these layouts...

Why and how do I fix it?

Here is what I have:

After I hit play in the first layout I go to the Introduction layout and...

System >>> On Start of Layout >>>>>> Object (background graphic) >>>>> Spawn TEXT on layer 1, image point 2

TEXT >>>>> Set text to "Stage " & Level (which is a global variable)

TEXT >>>>> Flash: Flash 0.5 on, 0.5 off for 5.0 seconds

System >>> Time > 5.0 seconds >>>>> TEXT >>>>> Flash: Stop flashing

TEXT >>>>> Destroy

The other layout giving me troubles has the same commands, with, obviously, a different background and a different text, so I do not need to re write it all.

Also, the TEXT(s) have 2 behaviors: Destroy outside layout (so I don´t have a copy of the text somewhere else in the memory) and Flash

Any help, here? Thanks!

The Time expression will count from the start of the game even if you die and restart or pause the game, The time will keep counting.

You should use --- Wait 5 second then destroy.

What do you mean? where should I use that?

Check this example :

Im installing v175 to check it, since it says you have used v174 and I have 173. I´ll let you know as soon as I have tried it
