Hey, so I’ve been having some problems with this: I want to have a box where I can write and the text appears while I write, so I used the TextField. The thing is, at the same time, when I press a key it’s supposed to make a sound, I got this part right, but when I put these two together it doesnt work-makes no sound. Can it be solved, or is there another way to do this?

the code so far:
