Hi everyone!
I’m new to programming and I was trying my hand at some OOP in corona sdk…
I have made a textClass.lua file that I can call into my main.lua that allows me to create text based on the functions I’ve made in the textClass.lua.
This works great!
But the problem is, I cannot add these external display objects to a group in my main.lua.
Is there a way to do this?
Here is my textClass.lua
text = {}
function text:new(o)
o = o or {}
setmetatable(o, self)
self.\_\_index = self
return o
end
function text:txt(v)
self.txt = v
end
function text:color(r, g, b)
self.txtDisplay:setTextColor(r, g, b)
end
function text:pos(xpos, ypos, size)
self.x = xpos
self.y = ypos
self.size = size
self.txtDisplay = display.newText(self.txt, xpos, ypos, native.systemFont, size)
end and then I can call it into my main.lua like this
newText: = text:new{}
newText:txt = "hi"
newText:pos(100, 100, 16)
newText:color(0, 0, 0) but let’s say I wanted to add this into a group… and on a certain action, I can hide the group!
textGroup = display.newGroup()
textGroup:insert(newText) Corona gives me this error…
bad argument to #-2 to 'insert' (Proxy expected, got nil) How can I go about adding the functionality to insert this into a group?
