Isn't the System Action 'Create Object' of use? https://www.scirra.com/manual/125/system-actions
Here's an example that uses a normal text field, but using spritefont should be just as easy.
Do a search for 'typewriter' - there are several examples.
I think that might be what you're after (hopefully).
Yes it is possible, and quite easily. You could even modify the template that comes with C2 to do this.
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
You should read the release notes https://www.scirra.com/construct2/releases/r175

I'm using the same version on the same OS and I don't have that issue.
It looks to me like a problem with a non-standard plugin.
No other forum I visit has this amount of spam.
I give up on reporting.
Seriously, just fix the forum.
Depends on how many choices and how the text is stored. If it's just a few words, then simply do something like:
On clicked - Text Set Text to choose("Hello", "Goodbye","Booyah!","etc")
Pretty sure that the steam license and one bought from this site are totally different and not interchangeable. Using search brought these responses from Ashley:

TL:DR
If you purchase a license from steam, then steam handle all the authorization and licensing issues. If you purchase from this site, then you get a redeem code and the license is a physical key file.
Supposedly you are not allowed to post links when a new user, but the SPAM bots/users are managing to post whatever they wish, so there is something very broken with this forum that needs fixing first.
As I don't have steam, I'm quoting from DUTOIT POST HERE: https://www.scirra.com/forum/how-do-i-get-span-class-posthilit-beta-span-on-span-class-posthilit_p698309?#p698309
[quote:1odpk9hw]You just need to opt in for the betas through steam.
Steam - Settings - look bottom beta participation.
Select.
Downside is you will be using a beta steam version. But you can then select other program betas via there own properties
C2 - properties - betas - select "Beta - Construct 2 beta updates"
Have you tried testing for keycode?
i.e.
On Keycode 20 Pressed ------------------- Do action
