Where's your "Hello, my name is XXXXX, and I am an organ grinder in Bombay." kind of introduction?

Create an application where the user has to press a button. Each time the user presses the button, this must be registered in a script local variable. The values in this must then be displayed on the screen as part of a text string.
To add a value to a variable, you can use the add command like this: add 1 to sCounter. The result should be displayed as follows: You have pressed the button 6 times.
Code: Select all
local sCounter = 0
on mouseUp pButtonNumber
add 1 to sCounter
put "You have pressed the button "& sCounter &" times." into field 1
end mouseUp

Hah.
So we have a new user, "theonewhoasked".
Hi.
You have two posts on this forum. Before we get too involved, tell us what I asked in the other thread. How much experience do you have with LiveCode? Does your teacher want you to use LC to answer the tasks he has set for you?

It's not even a social convention here: I've not made such a post, and I don't recall many of the regular having done so either.
This is a support forum. Posts here seek information about using LiveCode more effectively.
It is sometimes also a social venue, but relatively few use it as such. Either way is fine, but let's please avoid gatekeeping that gives the impression newcomers aren't welcome unless they share personal info.
Everyone interested in LiveCode is welcome here, and any earnest question question about using LiveCode is welcome here also.
If the environment is helpful and friendly, the subset of users who want to use this forum socially will organically do so.

By deleting the original question the OP has guaranteed:
1. The thread is virtually valueless for anyone else.
2. There is no chance of anyone else doing a web search to find out where those questions originated (? were plagiarized ?).

The real question is how many similar responses does it take to delete this pointless thread
