Hi,  
I created an app for kids to learn to speak numbers. For that reason the user has to select a number by turning a “wheel” for the digits of a 5-digit number. Then the number is displayed and can be spoken in various languages.  
For my first solution I constructed the “wheel” by Buttons and Labels.

Now my question: Is there a simpler solution for those wheels (e.g. vertical slider or something like that)?

Here the link to my project:

Hey @rollke,

This is such a good idea for an app, and one that could be translated into many languages too.

Did you know that the Animation component [now supports clicks](https://docs.thunkable.com/lottie#events)? I think with 20 images (10 spinning up and 10 spinning down) you could create this effect…you might need a switch too to set the spinner in forward or reverse mode?
