Running the below code always returns nil.  This is straight from the corona api libraries example for newEmbossedText

local myText = display.newEmbossedText("Hello World!", 0, 0, native.systemFont, 16 ) myText.x = 50 myText.y = 50 myText:setTextColor( 255 ) print ( myText.text ) -- terminal output: nil. should be Hello World!

Icy Spark,

It turns out we accidentally broke the “.text” property when we added text wrapping support to embossed text.

This bug is now fixed in the newest daily build.

Thank you for reporting this issue.
