I used this code instead of the above function call: imagebutton: idle "images/arrow_id.png" hover "images/arrow_hov.png.png" action [SetVariable("variableTest", variableTest + 1)] Now the dialogue is not advanc...

Re: How to return the index of an array in a for loop?

Thanks, I changed my code accordingly. Is it safe to use $ in a vbox for a loop? Doesn't $ make the variable global? If I use $ index somewhere else couldn't it conflict? vbox: $ index = 10 for item in reversed(arrayTest): text "[index]" $ index -= 1
