pretty sure that text boxes don't automatically update
so don't expect things like that to happen

NPC text doesn't get updated each frame unlike signs. Live with that

They do
Place a sign with %coins%, place and collect a coin, stand on the sign (sign says '1'), remove the coin (sign updates to '0')

Edit:

You can't just say 'live with it' whenever theres a bug you cant be bothered to fix
I know its only a small bug, but in numbers small bugs make a game look as if the staff just dont care, which makes it look bad

OK, let's think about this logically. Signs display your coins count. It makes sense to update them each frame so coin count will be up to date.
NPCs are talking. It doesn't make sense that they would be able to change their speech that has been already spoken.

But next time they talk - they can say a different thing (update the coins count)

Yes in this case you can technically argue that its supposed to be that way, but you've said the same about other bugs too... Edit: e.g. here maybe here? Edit 2: (1: Unless I misunderstood the joke? 2: Unless you are still fixing it, just have other things to do first)

there is a difference between sign boxes and speech boxes

Well you said text boxes, not speech boxes, so I replied that yes, in all other cases text boxes update correctly

yeah sorry my mistake
anyway, like gosha said, speech boxes are already spoken, you cant change what you say

1: Unless I misunderstood the joke?

I don't really know how to detect page refreshing with flash. I'll have to look into the documentation and i don't even know which documentation and if it even exists. But i hope i'll figure it out.

2: Unless you are still fixing it

I forgot about it. I said "Yes, there are only 4 tabs intended, because they didn't expect to have so many blocks in the past" before i became the admin. (8 Jan)

Oh ok, good to know that you are attempting to fix all the bugs, even if sometimes it doesnt sound like you are (to me at least) XD
