so i have a problem, i have function and a line to display some text
local text1= display.newText,
text1.alpha=1
i have another function to remove(hide) the text
text1=alpha=0
yet my text isnt disappearing, why is that? it works perfectly with images…so frustrating
Did you mean:
text1.alpha=0 instead of text1 = alpha=0
You can also try setting the .isVisible attribute:
text1.isVisible = false
Without seeing some code, all I can suspect is that you have a scope issue where you’re creating text1 somewhere and it’s local to a function or block of code that when you later try to hide it, it’s not scoped correctly.
