Still getting the same error .

I tried this in a sample project and it works like its supposed to.

centerX = display.contentCenterX centerY = display.contentCenterY round = 1 roundTxt = display.newText( "Round: "..round, centerX, centerY, native.systemFontBold, 40 )

Do you have the centerX and centerY variables?
