Change fontSize

Hi,

Is there a way to change fontSize after instantiate newText?

I tried to use “:setFontSize()” or “.fontSize” property but without any results…

Someone has the solution??

thanks

you can use the “.size” variable call to set the size after creation. I can’t find the docs on it; very strange as I know I learned it from there.

testText = display.newText("THIS IS DEFAULT TEXT", display.contentCenterX, display.contentCenterY, default, 10) testText.size = 25

.size is for textBox & textField. to change size of newText you have to recreate or use scale unless something was added to gpx2.0 that I wasn’t aware of

so easy??  :smiley:

thanks!!

It worked when I tested it before posting. @Jstrahan, I’ve been using it since late 2012 for text objects. Did I just optimize your workflow?
