I have a problem with text overriding each other..

Here is my code:

function groupTextUpdate() if group[i].amountText.width \> maxWidthForMaara then group[i].amountText.xScale = group[i].amountText.xScale / group[i].amountText.width \* maxWidthForMaara group[i].amountText.yScale = group[i].amountText.yScale / group[i].amountText.width \* maxWidthForMaara maxWidthForMaara = group[i].amountText.width end if group[i].costText.width \> maxWidthForMaara then group[i].costText.xScale = group[i].costText.xScale / group[i].costText.width \* maxWidthForMaara group[i].costText.yScale = group[i].costText.yScale / group[i].costText.width \* maxWidthForMaara maxWidthForMaara = group[i].costText.width end group[i].amountText.text = "["..comma\_value(settings.m.group[i].amount).."]" group[i].costText.text = ""..translations["SHORT\_K"][settings.m.language].." "..comma\_value(settings.m.group[i].cost).."" end groupTextUpdate()

Is there anything wrong with it because this is what I get in the simulator:

I do not get any errors though.

See that, it goes over the border. Can you all help me?

Difficult to tell as we don’t know what maxWidthForMaara is initially. 

#3

It is display.contentWidth / 2.6

#4

Ok, so is that the same widith as your rectangle above? If you want to keep it within the bounds of that, test against the width of the rectangle (minus a few pixels to leave a gap either side).

Thanks. I debugged it successfully!
