Text malformed

Hi,

I am creating a text object and inserting that in to a scroll view, but instead of text i could see white rectangle . 

If i doesn’t insert in the scroll view the text is appearing properly. 

I read in this blog ,

https://coronalabs.com/blog/2013/06/26/wednesday-faqs-display-text-objects/ 

its because of exceeding the texture memory limit , but i am not using many display objects. What could be the possible problem, how can i over come it.

My code ,

chatScroll = widget.newScrollView{ width  = chatBg.width - 50, height = chatBg.height - 280, hideBackground = true, horizontalScrollDisabled  = true, } chatScroll.x = chatBg.x  chatScroll.y = chatBg.y - 20

local  myText=display.newText(displayTextGroup, "yuuu", myChatRect.x - 50,textY ,self.fontNormal, 35 ) myText:setFillColor(0,0,0) myText:toFront(); chatScroll :insert(myText)

Thanks,

Kumar KS.

  1. I wouldn’t jump to conclusions.  Let us look at it first. 

If it shows up outside the scroller, then there is no reason it should not work in the scroller.

(Note: If it ends up being a texture size limit you can’t overcome that, its a hardware limit.  But, since you said it is visible out of the scroller I doubt this to be the case.).

  1. Please show your code or share a link to your project.

  2. If you paste code, please format it.

I have pasted the code.

I modified your code slightly because it wasn’t out-of-the-box runnable.

I’m not having any issues running with build 2017.3160 on the simulator (Windows 10 system).

Try this:

If you downloaded it before seeing this post, get it again. 

I made the example even more aggressive with no memory issues.
