thanks if you have a solution.

 

//preload.js
var preload = function(game){}

preload.prototype = {
	preload: function(){ 
		this.game.load.bitmapFont('lucky','assets/font.png', 'assets/font.fnt');

	},
  	create: function(){
		this.game.state.start("GameTitle");
	}
}


//hud.js
function drawText(game){
	var e=[]
	e.player = game.add.bitmapText(w4*3,20+20,'lucky','JOJO', w*.1);
	e.player.anchor.x = 0.5;
	e.player.anchor.y = 0.5;
	return e;
}
//in my thegame.js
//
drawText(game)

//error is : TypeError: e.player.anchor is undefined

It looks like drawText is getting called before your game has started. What about putting the call to drawText in your preload state's create function?

Also, this confuses me:

var e=[]
e.player = game.add.bitmapText(w4*3,20+20,'lucky','JOJO', w*.1);
e.player.anchor.x = 0.5;
e.player.anchor.y = 0.5;
return e;

I think you meant "var e = {};" instead of "var e = []". [] means you're making an array, {} means you're making an object. But why make an object that holds your player and then return it? Why not just make the player and return that directly? What are you trying to do?

Hi Drhayes , 

Drawtext is called in "thegame.js" not in preload, i have put comments.

I have also simplified my snippet for the forum and i have for example e.opponent, e.score etc...so i need to put an array.

I have found a discussion about a problem with anchor in 2014 with Rich (the administrator) and i see the pseudo soluce here :
