I have 2 pieces of text that I want to cycle on and off. So ideally, you press the button we see the first piece of text, you press the button again you see the second piece of text, and the first piece is hidden, and you press the button again and we should be back at the beginning. The button does this, but I can’t get the text to cycle.

This is in slide 4, linked below. Thanks!

In your notes, use `button1.script.value` instead of `pressCount`.

Also, instead of separate notes, you could use one with similar code for `content` that you used for your button label.
