Displaying text on screen...

[thejoester]

I am having trouble displaying text on the screen on certain events. You know how when you Zone, or complete a quest you get colored text on the screen?

How do I do that?

I read on WoWWikki and found MessageFrame:AddMessage() but it is not working.

Here is the code I used

MessageFrame:AddMessage("Test" , 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 5);

and I get the error

attempt to index global MessageFrame' (a nil value)

any ideas what I am doing wrong?
