Hello all, I am fairly new to Python, as well as Pythonista. I wanted to know if there is a way to change a LabelNode text overtime using the scene timer. I tried executing my code in the update function but it just keeps overlapping tons of text instead of altering the existing one. What am I doing wrong?
```
from scene import *
import sound
import random
import math
A = Action

class MyScene (Scene):
def setup(self):
self.clock = 0
self.background_color = 'black'
self.label = LabelNode(str(self.clock), font=('Courier', 40), color='white', position=(self.size.w/2, self.size.h/2), parent=self)
def update(self):
self.clock += int(self.t)
self.label = LabelNode(str(self.clock), font=('Courier', 40), color='white', position=(self.size.w/2, self.size.h/2), parent=self)

if name == 'main':
run(MyScene(), show_fps=False)```

@ccb_2k18 try

    def update(self):
        self.clock += int(self.t)
        self.label.text = str(self.clock)

@cvp Thanks so much it worked perfectly! I don’t know why I didn’t think of modifying the text attribute.

Hey @cvp, would you care to help me again lol? I tried to demo a loading bar using a ShapeNode class. I used self.w as a variable for the width but it won’t update its width when I run the code.

```
from scene import *
import scene
import ui

class load_bar(scene.ShapeNode):
def init(self, kwargs):
self.w = 0
super().init(path=ui.Path.rect(0,0,self.w,5), fill_color='white', stroke_color=None, shadow=None, kwargs)

class MyScene (Scene):
def setup(self):
self.background_color = 'grey'
self.load = load_bar(position=(200,200), parent=self)
self.load.anchor_point = (0,0)
self.load.w = 0
def update(self):
while self.load.w < 100.0:
self.load.w += 1

if name == 'main':
run(MyScene(), show_fps=False)```

@ccb_2k18 sorry to answer so late but there is a time zone difference😇
I've seen you posted the same question in another topic and you are right.
Don't ask a question to only one person, and surely me, there are in this forum a lot of marvelous people, and often a lot smarter than me.
