Changing retina text on build 704 -- no setText method available

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I would like to ensure I can update RetinaText on an iPhone 4 using the latest stable build, 704.

API doc says to use SetText but there is no setText method–it comes back as nil in the terminal, whether or not widget is required.

Am I still supposed to use .text to modify RetinaText on build 704? I read a post somewhere that mentioned retina text wasn’t updating on an iPhone 4 and to us setText. I just have a 3GS at hand.

Thanks for any info,

This was added after build 704 ( ie daily builds)

if your using 704 use this

myText.text = "Whatever" [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 22138 reply_id: 88478[/import]

Regarding retina text:

display.newText() has been modified to handle “retina text” automatically, and therefore display.newRetinaText() has been deprecated since it is no longer needed.

The changes will be reflected in the next daily build (the one posted *after* 2012.770). [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 22138 reply_id: 94919[/import]
