How do I Get a Text Box to Show Up?

So, I did the tutorials for the top down shooter game, and the platformer game.

In the platformer game, I added a global variable "Life" and set it to 5, but when I make a text box in the layout, and add the event to update the status of the "Life" through the system, no text box appears when I run the game.

In fact: if I just add a text box to the layout, and type anything in, it won't display when I run the game. Even if I place it right on top of my player.

?

Make sure you have your layers set up correctly and everything looks good on the z-order bar. Your textbox could be on a layer that is behind another.

Can you include a capx?

Attached is my file...

I check all the layers, and the z-indexes, even resized the text box to different sizes, colors, repositioned, etc.

I'm wondering if its a bug, or its me... I'm brand new to this and am considering purchasing the product.

When you have set your parallax to 0,0 you need to place your objects within the dotted frame in the editor.

For clarity.
