Text content not updating

[darkstormSW]

Hi all,

 

I am stumped by text that does not update.

 

I've added it in the create function with game.add.text, but whenever I try to update it (e.g. myTextThing.content = 'updated text'), it does not seem to update.

 

Appreciate any pointers in the right direction.

If in doubt, check the examples

Thanks Rich,

 

I'll have a look and double-check my code.

 

I was actually referring to the Making Your First Game with Phaser tutorial which uses scoreText.content to update the score.

 

Out of curiousity, is there are difference between setText and the .content method?

 

By the way, Phaser is awesome. Keep up the great work.

Hi, I am having the exact same problem. I have changed the code around and can't get it to work.

Did you ever find a solution?

 

Figured it out!
