Displaying updated text on screen

simran

I have the text updating in OnEnterFrame method:

count = count + 1
text7 = TextField.new(conf.fontchange, count)
text7:setPosition(conf.dx - conf.width/3, conf.dy - conf.height/3)
text7:setTextColor(0x000ff)
self:addChild(text7)
but this way the next count is just displayed over the earlier one.

If I do

self:removeChild(text7) ,
the text is not displayed at all. Where should I be removing the last count so that only the updated count is displayed?

@simran additionally you can create specific TTFont instance with cached symbols, for more efficient setText switching, like

local font = TTFont.new(30, "somefont.ttf", "0123456789", true)

Oh, yes I am actually doing that in config file where I have declared conf.fontchange Thanks a ton
