I am trying to move a display object that is hiding over the right side of the screen, into the scene. It works wonderfully with images (i.e. the background), but not with texts (the coords seem correct from debugging them with print(), but they never display, I already tried the obj:toFront).
I thought that they may work inside display objects, so I put everything in a display Object: Nothing. Just the text? Neither. Anyone knows why/how to override this?
function tscreen:init() local textGroup = display.newGroup() local menuBackground = self:getBtn("src/bgMenu.png") menuBackground.isVisible = false menuBackground.anchorX = 0.5 menuBackground.anchorY = 0.5 self.menuBackground = menuBackground local optionsText = { parent = textGroup, text = "Hello World", x = centerX, y = centerY, width = 128, font = native.systemFontBold, fontSize = 14, align = "center" } local workText = display.newText( optionsText ) workText:setFillColor( 1, 0, 0 ) setPos(textGroup, W, 0) --setPos() is a custom function that assigns x and y coords textGroup.isVisible = false self.textGroup = textGroup end function tscreen:show() local menuBackground = self.menuBackground local textGroup = self.textGroup local inTime = 1200 setPos(menuBackground, 2\*W + centerX, centerY) menuBackground.isVisible = true setPos(textGroup, W, 0) textGroup.isVisible = true self:cancelTween(menuBackground) self:cancelTween(textGroup) menuBackground.tween = transition.to(menuBackground, {time = inTime, transition = easing.outExpo, x = centerX, onComplete = function() tscreen:cancelTween(menuBackground) end }) textGroup.tween = transition.to(textGroup, {time = inTime, transition = easing.outExpo, x = 0, onComplete = function() tscreen:cancelTween(textGroup) print(getPos(textGroup), textGroup.width, textGroup.height) end }) end
I have the starters edition of Corona, so I don’t have the recently implemented Composer API.
