I am having trouble setting my text component...

Questions & Answers
1

Instead of setting the text component to currentQuestion it turns blank. I used debug.log(QuestionText) to determine that it is receiving the question. So I know it has something to do with how I’m assigning it, but I am completely drawing a blank. (I apologize if the scripts look sloppy. I cut out all the stuff that has nothing to do with the text component situation)

I am answering my own question…
After finding this:
link text

I changed:
private string QuestionText;
private string AnswerText;
to:
private Text QuestionText;
private Text AnswerText;

from:
QuestionCardText.GetComponent().text = QuestionText;
to:
QuestionText = QuestionCardText.GetComponent();

from:
QuestionText = currentQuestion;
to:
QuestionText.text = currentQuestion;

It seems to be working properly.
