Text losing properties after setText()

[momenimum]

After I create a Text with properties, those properties are lost after I setText().  Let me know if I am doing something incorrectly.  Thanks!

//This gets centered
this.label = new game.Text('SCORE 99999\nCongrats!',{align:'center'});

//No longer centered
this.label.setText('SCORE '+score+'\nCongrats!');

I can't reproduce that one, are you doing anything else to the text other that calling setText?

This code seem to work as expected:

game.createScene('Main', {
    init: function() {
        this.text = new game.Text('This text is\ncentered', { align: 'center' });
        this.text.addTo(this.stage);
    },
    
    click: function() {
        this.text.setText('This text is still\ncentered');
    }
});

Looks like its working.  Maybe related to dev branch engine I recently switched to.

That was tested on dev branch. So do you still have the issue?

It's working now thanks!

Hi @enpu please take a look at this sample, the setText() makes the text blank.  I believe its related to maxWidth, because it works without maxWidth.

game.addAsset('font.fnt');

game.createScene('Main', {
    init: function() {
        this.text = new game.Text("Hello Panda Banda!\nHow are you today?",{maxWidth:300});
        this.text.addTo(this.stage);
        game.Timer.add(1500,function() {this.nextCall()}.bind(this));
    },
    
    nextCall: function() {
        this.text.setText("Line 1\nLine 2");
    }
});

Thanks, this should be fixed now!

Btw, you are creating unnecessary function in your Time line:

game.addAsset('font.fnt');

game.createScene('Main', {
    init: function() {
        this.text = new game.Text('Hello Panda Banda!\nHow are you today?', { maxWidth: 300 });
        this.text.addTo(this.stage);
        game.Timer.add(1500, this.nextCall.bind(this));
    },
    
    nextCall: function() {
        this.text.setText('Line 1\nLine 2');
    }
});
