- I have three widgets (shown below) - a label, an entry, and a button.
- I'm hoping to accept user input of an integer when the button is clicked.
- I get the following error: ERROR RESOLVED! I was making this too complicated. Success is Mine!!!
- I believe that my problem is related to this:
- I chopped it down to the minimum amount of code possible to achieve this before posting.
Any Ideas or obvious failures you see would be greatly appreciated.

In Summary, I first made two screens. I'm hoping to make these into classes. The first screen (pictured) should get input from the user. Then, the first screen should progress to the second screen.
To do this, I have used the following resources:
