Opus: Opus Pro 8
OS: Windows 10; 64-bit operating system
System: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU, 4.00GB (RAM)
Hello, it's been a while since i played on Opus now. So what I'm trying to do:

Each time I land on a page, I want a random paragraph of text to display which I created with an array:

Set Array Variable[0] = "My text 1"
Set Array Variable[1] = "My text 2"
Set Array Variable[2] = "My text 3"
...and so on.

and on my page I have:

On Show:
Set <randomtext> to random (Max 3)


Then
I added my text box in which I inserted a constant expression variable:

Constant Expression
My text [0]


But now the problem is that each time the page opens, it only shows "My text 1" index and never the others. Any ideas?
:(

Not sure I follow your actions but, the last statement...

My text [0]

...is simply reading the value from the 1st array element each time - so no won't change. You'd have to place a random number inside the square brackets to retrieve a random array element.

If that doesn't work, try posting an example that we can look at.

Regards,

Mack
