Hi, hope somebody can help.
I'm trying to set the width/height properties on hint messages displayed during a load screen to enable multiple lines if needed - as some of the messages are quite long.
Unfortunately whenever I set the width/height properties on a newText object it seems to ignore the custom font and font size property. I'm also having a nightmare centering the text, but that's another issue:
I currently have this:
1 2 3 4 | local hint = display.newText(hintMessages[ran].label, 0, 280,460,0, "GangofThree",18) localGroup:insert(hint) hint:setReferencePoint(display.TopCenterReferencePoint) hint.x = _H/2 |
For centering text I use the following which seems to work on V644
1 2 | hint:setReferencePoint(display.TopLeftReferencePoint) hint.x = display.contentWidth *0.5 - (hint.width * 0.25) |
Hi leginus - thanks that works like a charm. Now I've just got to try and see why setting height/width attributes is stopping the custom font from showing...
Thanks again...
