[SOLVED]Text emoji as game graphics?

[Armox]

Okay so I'm creating game sprites like so: 
 

game.create = function() {

   this.player = this.add.text(0, 0, "?", {
    font: '64px Sans Open'
   }).setInteractive();

}

 

I'm intending to animate them by switching to different emoji.  Throw up animation for example: ?>?>?

All the animation info I come across pertains to animating sprite sheets (understandably so).

Forgive me, I'm brand new to Phaser, but this is what I tried:

let timelineTween = this.tweens.createTimeline();
  timelineTween.add({
    targets: this.player,
    duration: 600,
    x: newItem.x,
    y: newItem.y,
    onComplete: function() {
      gameScene.add.tween(this).to({ alpha: 1 }, 2000, "Linear", true);
      this.targets[0].text = "?";
    }

Although it did change the text value of player, it didn't render any differently on screen.

I'm quite new to Phaser too but I believe text objects must be updated via .updateText() to show the change or if you want to set it in one line without doing the two separately you can do this:

this.targets[0].setText("?");

Yep, that did it.  Thanks so much!
